Computers in Education
Parents may wonder what computers can actually do for their children.
- Computers can help children learn skills such as problem solving, fact gathering, analysis, and writing. Future employers will seek these skills.
- Computers can increase access to information and resources. Students can “visit” museums, cities, and wildlife preserves online.
Technology and Teamwork
Children learn best when they receive one-on-one attention and encouragement from teachers and parents. Teachers and parents are most effective when they act as a team, using technology, training, and dedication to improve children’s achievement.
