When it comes to computer software the most important applications, in my opinion, would be ms word, powerpoint, excel, iphoto, and video editing. The reason for my selection order is because ms word is key because every program that is made available including research, articles, resources, and academic drafts are created in the word application. Along with word, powerpoint is used on a regular basis because of its easy access to creative organization. With the knowledge of powerpoint, students are able to make fixed presentations for major events, with their presentation ususally being what determines the event success. The importance of these applications continue on through excel, iphoto, and video editing. In my opinion, each one of these apps are essential to learn to compete as a professional. There is no reason why 6th and 7th graders should not be introduced to these programs because these programs make learning and applying what is learned easier. The resources are available therefore children should be educated on how to use them.
