There are a few areas that I feel need to be better addressed in the educational setting is typing skills. Alot of students now adays have trouble typing and need to be taught a young age. THey are starting students to late on this skill when they should be starting it as soonas they start using the computer. Another ares I feel that lacks training is teaching students of how to use the internet to there advantage and how to search for stuff sucesfully through search sites. Alot of students don;t even now where to start when it comes to dong research.
