I'm a student at Patch High School in Germany, where computers and technology are a major part of my day. The technology offered here helps us in many way. The World Wide Web is useful for finding information and research for papers and projects.
Distance learning is a growing aspect of school and the technology here makes that possible.
Although a teacher in person is usually better, distance learning is good for classes that aren't offered in a school. At my school, it is especially difficult to offer all the classes that students may want because there aren't that mant students. Classes over computers makes this possible. I think computers will continue to become an incredible tool for daily life.
