- "Agree with this statement. You have 2 strikes against you
if you are both functional and computer illiterate."
- "Generally agree with the above statement. Our students are
different from the CASP's, however they already have jobs. Some use
computers, but most do not. Most of them have been at Hub for at
least 5 yrs. If they lost their job. Them technical skills would
definitely be an asset."
- "It would be of benefit, however the primary focus are the
basics, if possible exposure to computer. Realistically we are
unable to afford the cost of most of the available technology."
- "Agree, but the truth of the matter is we do not have the
funding for computers and access to the Internet etc. Realistically
the CASP program barely has funding for books."
- "With the coming of the information highway, some learners
are in danger of being run over. Exposure to various computer
systems in a supportive environment will prepare learners and
hopefully give them confidence for the future."
- "Depends on how affective training is and how accessible the
computer would be for the student."
- "Whole heartedly agree with this statement. Computers
skills are needed in a wide variety of jobs today - even a cashier
in a store must be comfortable with operating a computerized till.
People need to be computer literate and to feel comfortable with
computers. So they will not feel inhibited to apply for computer
related jobs."
- "The suggestion in this statement is ideal. However
regarding adult students especially those who are disabled or with
special needs will the time be available for longer training
sessions and not just short introductory exposure?"
- "Given the increasing role of computers in the work place
and in society in general, I would agree with this statement. But
there has to be a balance between what the students know and what we
want them to know."
- "First of all the students need reading and writing
competency in order to use the computer. But there are simpler
programs that they can start with and for sure the more they know
about computers the better because many work places use them."
- "Having a computer in the classroom is not an accessory
today; it is a necessity. Not only does it provide a large stride
into the future, but it can erase the fears many students have of
even applying for work. (Almost all business have computers.)"
- "This is true to a certain extent. Students may need
exposure to computers but this cannot interfere with the many other
skills they require to function adequately."
