2. Technology continues to evolve over the years,
and integrating it into classrooms as a teaching
tool can be very beneficial for students as well
as teachers.
3. Computers in education enable us
to:
• Teach more effectively.
With computers we can individualize instruction, grant
students autonomy, and empower students to learn at their
own pace, rather than wait for the teacher’s personal
Attention.

4. • Reach
and teach more students.
Computers and internet access can expand the educational
horizons of children in isolated rural communities, children
with limited community resources, or those children who
are homebound because of disability or illness.
5. • Make the world our classroom.
Students with internet access
can directly tap resources in
their communities or venture
beyond the neighborhoods.
Students can draw from limitless
books, articles, pictures and sound
clips; follow links to experts or
virtual field trips; and participate in
real time communications across
the globe.
6. • Turn latchkey kids into connected kids.
Too many youngster have no one to talk to and are hesitant
to asks questions of adults or teachers.
The internet offers a homework helper, a companion at the end
of the school day, or a chat room of friends so that no one
needs to be home alone.
7. • Get ready for the future.
Technology encourages interdisciplinary and collaborative
work, facilitates problem-learning and provides an outlet for
students to express their creativity. Students at ease with
technology will be assets to future employer.
9. Effective teaching all but disappears. Good teaching requires a
personal connection. A teacher gazing at a student who is
gazing at a computer screen is not teaching effectively. The
internet is unmonitored, filled with erroneous information,
political propaganda, and phony research.
The digital world remains divided. Technology
amplifies
economic disparities, awarding clear advantage to children from
wealthy high-tech homes attending wealthy hightech schools. Poor students soon discover
technology’s unwelcome mat tripping them up at
the door of most career options.
10. Students risk becoming antisocial. Too many
today’s youngster can surf the internet, but are
unable to form personal connections. The internet is
home to countless narrow-internet groups that
fragment society instead of unifying it.
Computers are a health risk.
Computer use is associated
with
increased
eyestrain,
repetitive motion injury, and
the obesity that comes from
a sedentary lifestyle.
11. Fundamental skills are sidelined. As spelling and
grammar tools correct student writing and computer
screens replace engagement with books, real learning is
compromised.
