The following examples of learning activities illustrate the integration: -Students develop writing and word processing skills as they write memos, letters and learn about email. - Students develop numeracy skills as they create spreadsheets to chart their piecework earnings. I would like to know if there has been any research done to show how day-to-day jobs and their skill requirements have been changed by the introduction of new technology.
