Took my first FORTRAN class in 1971. Bought the first Apple II computer in the county. Taught some BASIC, Assembler, Pascal to high school kids in the 80's. Many of them have jobs in the industry now. Computer classes went more to applications and less to programming. I haven't programmed in years. Been teaching math, y= mx+b. I may teach a web design class next year. I doubt that I will get to Java, Perl or PHP. It will take a while to build up to that. I likely start with a little HTML, dreamweaver, photoshop to spark their interest. The kids love photoshop - me to.
I may be asking for suggestions on directions to send high school kids. Some have low skills and others are quite advanced. They will need training in jobs that are not going to be primarily done in some other country. Any suggestions on "emerging" jobs in the industry?
