But a well-rounded person, Sandlin said, knows how to do a little bit of everything, "including how to do things with your hands."

Gosney's PC has 600,000 images that can be used to design projects, but he uses it mostly for student grades and playing digitized Merle Haggard songs.

"We don't use it that much anymore," Gosney said.

Students design projects the old-fashioned way, he said, using pencil and paper to make sketches of dinghies, beds, dressers and entertainment centers.
