In Collège (11-14 years old) we had a “Technologie” class where we learnt how to do various things on computers, from presentations to basic 3D modelling ; all using free software.
I genuinely think that class was helpful, and we had no computers during any other class.
All. Studies consistently show students perform worse when they’ve been made reliant on technology.
The age would be 12-13 for year 7.
I think “reliant” is the key word though.
