Thanks for the comment.

I really am reconsidering if we should be “teaching” boxed software at all, at any grade level…I think that with so much web-based authoring resources available, is there a need to “teach” students how to “use” PowerPoint (et al) at all? Granted, these can be useful tools in the right environment, but they appear to me to be overused and stifling creativity in schools.

I was intrigued about whqat you said, but my comment would be at what grade level would you purpose that we start breaking away from the traditional use of computers for intstruction of power point…et al.? It seems to me that what you purpose would be to identify a grade level to move beyond the traditional educational presentation.
