[LINK] Texting isn't enough: Australian students' computer skills drop, new report shows

[Jan Whitaker]

Interesting article. Looks like computer skills (literacy according to the education system) have shifted and no one's paying attention. Prepare an online survey? Edit animations? Spreadsheets for year 6? Looks like someone  gathered a bunch of actions and threw a dart at them to pick what goes where, and haven't realised the world has moved on very quickly. They probably still work on desktop tower machines in their offices and are trying to teach kids on them, too. Does anyone know?
