NJCCCS

The NJCCCS article stated many scenarios I am familiar with. But, I did learn:
1) for societal advancement we need to learn and be knowledgeable about maintaining and troubleshooting equipment
2)SCANS in 1992
3)information literacy proficiencies
The article articulated for me or reinforced my own personal belief that if you have NO formal technological experiences you possess a negative attitude about learning something new as computer technology, because at first it seems so daunting and complex. I have LEARNED to develop the attitude JUST DO IT!
and after several attempts-you simply get "the hang of it."
I thought if your computer ceases to function you ask someone more computer savvy to fix the computer problem, but now I am aware of due to this article to learn to pursue troubleshooting your own equipment.
I just learned when SCANS was introduced and my 4 children from this younger generation have so BENEFITTED from the inception of this K-12 computer curriculum, obviously they are very computer savvy.
I thought it was one thing to learn how to operate your PC, but now I more understand this new vocabulary for me--information literacy proficiencies--which defines gathering research info via the internet. I am grateful for this article.
