Edit: I was kinda hoping the response to this post would more be people joking about my Warhammer reference, but instead y'all be posting serious analysis here. Real buzzkill.

Thats pretty much it yeah. It doesnt work well because the only sorta tech literacy it teaches is how to do what the teacher says rather than any real understanding of what a web browser or a file is

I was in a grade 3 classroom last term and all the 8 year olds were expected to know how to open their chromebooks, log in, etc, so my impression is they probably start using them in grade two or grade one

A grim realisation I had is the reason my grandmother (and others older relatives) keeps falling for so many scam ads isnt that they are uniquely guilible; its that they havent been on the internet seeing and ignoring "you web browser is out of date" "urgent antivirus announcement" "new pills for curing cancer" popping up. The kids in modern classrooms are seeing these sorts of ads almost all day from the time they get to school.
