I think they should learn to use software which allows them to do practical 
things... organize and analyze information, for example, or find resources, 
or do design and planning activities.
 AF> What about the types of computer programs that are useful for the 
students
 AF> to use while learning these skills?
Most contemporary packages are helpful.  I have used ClarisWorks, MSWorks, 
MSOffice, various Compuworks applications, RoboCad... programs like that.  
The new Corel Office Suite is helpful now, because it integrates Internet 
applications with the Office software intuitively, and I've always liked 
Quattro.

 AF> on her assignment. looking forward to hearing from your reply, amber.
I guess I've become required reading in Sydney... ;-]
Let me know how you're doing.
