“The problem comes from not having enough computers to really give a large amount of access to the students. It would be nice to have a centralized location with at least ten computers that could be scheduled where all students would have access to them on a weekly basis,” he suggested.
“There is a popular concept that computers are a high art that only belongs to mystics. The computer doesn’t require a person to have a high education to have one or use one. It’s just a tool like a pencil or calculator. If you sit down and read the manual you can do it.”
Now, how did you get through that door? Mr. Blohowiak posed leading questions to develop logical thinking which is necessary when operating a computer. “Consciously we walk to the door, open it and go through. But subconsiously we think — is the door open or closed? If it is closed which side is the knob on? Is it a sliding door? A push door? A pull door? If there is a knob, do you turn it left or right? Is it locked? If it is, which key will open it?”
Mr. Blohowiak concluded, ‘Tn order to use the computer you have to be able to bring all of these procedures out and tell the computer exactly what to do to open that door.”
