The information that I found in this article can be used for me in teaching because computers make the teacher s job easier. It can help with children who are ahead, by letting them move on. Teachers can watch a child at a computer and see how they are developing. It provides the teachers with a window into the child s thinking process . Differences in learning styles can be catered to by the use of the computer.
Children have to make their own choices, and follow their own paths to reach their goal.
The use of computers reveals special children s hidden strengths. Teachers can best create the program for each child that will personally benefit each student individually. I do not think that we should take the use of computers too far. We do not need to let them take over . They are beneficial, if used in proper ways and for proper things, but when we get too wrapped up into them that the teacher becomes down right lazy, then there is a problem.
