1) Education will not be delivered electronically for the vast majority of public schools for years and years to come.
2) Even if it was, what would be expected of second graders would require almost no keyboarding. Instead, iPad like devices will be used on which students can write their answers - much like clay, wax, or chalk tablets centuries ago.
“Again, I work with people all day long, who have been exposed to computers a good portion of their lives, who cannot type effectively. It is a huge waste of time and money.”
And it still has nothing to do with second graders.
Ok.
