Ikr, ever since I was kid I was told that I am part of generation that knows it's way around tech. Growing up and realizing that most of gen z can't comprehend simple IT related concepts was... disappointing.
Though at least they are aware that they need to remember their own passwords (looking at you boomers).
I teach 18 year olds and up. When I started, I assumed that everyone would know basic things, like creating folders or copying and pasting with a mouse. I'm surprised how often I have to teach them computer basics.
Teachers have a difficult time these days with students who don’t comprehend the concept of a hierarchal file system because iOS associates files with apps and not a directory structure.
Same! If you know of any online courses suitable for postsecondary students looking to build tech skills I would appreciate it, otherwise I might need to try getting a duty reallocation for a bit to put time into building one.
