Very predictable. If they wanted to teach something useful with computers then it probably would be useful (as too many kids can use a technology that they couldn't understand in their wildest dreams at this point). As it is my nephew takes a class in "computers" and he spends weeks working on useless power point presentations in which they don't even have to research or understand the subject of their presentation (they download pictures, create slides and play video games with the remaining time). Teaching with computers: we're doing it wrong.

At least half of my computer classes taught outdated material. One required course for the C++ course I wanted to take made me learn Pascal. Another had me learn Hypercard. I'm NOT that old. Another course on Maya used a version of the program that was a several versions out of date because that's what had been purchased and what the texts were for. Most of my relevant education has come either on the job or in my spare time. I wonder if part of the problem is that there's such a big industry need for people with solid tech skills that the cream of the crop get siphoned away from teaching.

On the flip side, I know photoshop, which has been very helpful, because it was installed on the computer lab computers and I spent hours testing it out during my downtime in the lab.

Someone once made a comment about an exhibition on "computers in clothing" that anything described that way inherently has a flawed design. If the computer is properly integrated in the clothing (or device, or class) then it becomes the device. "A watch/coat/class etc" which exists to have computers in it is improperly designed.
