Some of my most cherished memories from my childhood are of my mother helping me with my homework. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-When-I-was-in-elementary-school-18481653 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 13:57:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/When-I-was-in-elementary-school-18481366 Let’s date ourselves for a moment; what did computer education look like when you were in elementary school?
