• Technology has changed the way we live, work and LEARN!!

• Useful for familiarizing students with computers and facilitating learning through the use of simulation activities.

• Switch from ‘teacher-centric’ style to ‘learner-centric’ approach

• Research

• Project work

• Simulations

• Interactive subject areas (e.g. math) http://www.aplusmath.com/Flashcards/index.html

• In today’s society one must be proficient in the use of computers

• Large percentage of jobs require persons to be computer literate

• Technology is fun and exciting for students and can motivate them to learn!

• I don’t think computers could ever replace teachers. Instead, computers should be used in conjunction to maximize students’ learning.

• Computers lack ‘human’ element.

• Computers do not care about student’s personal problems or learning disabilities.

• Teachers AND technology together are the best way to teach today’s students.
