Students Providing School Tech Support

from the go-to-those-who-know dept

It seems that many schools don't have adults who can handle computers very well. Teachers aren't well trained in using computers and the internet, let alone keeping the computers working. So, more than half the schools looked at in this study have students provide some element of tech support. 43% have students do troubleshooting, and 39% have the students help set up the systems in the first place.
