She&lt;br /&gt;hits a key and it disappears but leaves me frazzled. I often think I will give up on using the computer but even I have found it to be indispensible. I can only imagine how important the use&lt;br /&gt;of technology is to children in schools. My own grown kids are never without their Blackberries,&lt;br /&gt;laptops and Ipods. I know these items are their forms of communication and I am trying to keep up but, like learning a new language, learning to keep up in the digital world is frustrating at my age! I am glad to see so many schools keeping up with technology and teaching students the right way to use it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post is part of the &lt;a href="mailto:MAT@USC"&gt;MAT@USC&lt;/a&gt; hope for the Holiday's event.
