This is useful for both student instruction and teacher training. Computers provide ongoing teacher training. Teachers and staff can access job-related information quickly and easily with computers and the Internet. They can communicate with other teachers and share techniques and resources. Computers and the Internet can provide self-directed, ongoing instruction to improve teaching skills.
Computers help filter massive amounts of information.
When research is done using books and libraries, the challenge is to find information. Even if the proper resource is found, the book may not be in the library the student is using. Our goal is not to purchase computers, but to upgrade our children's education to prepare them for the world they already live in. Computers are an increasingly indispensable element of that world. This is a situation that will not go away, and will in fact become more pressing with each passing year.
