Computers in Education: Friend or Foe?
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page review of the literature for answers to the question of how appropriate computers are in the educational environment. The author reviews four specific articles from online technology journals. The conclusion is reached that computers can be tremendously powerful tools both in terms of student output and learning and also in terms of teacher output and learning. Through computers students have access to materials at the speed of light. They can incorporate new information, make changes and revisions, and produce considerably more high quality reports and projects in much less time than that which would be involved utilizing more traditional resources. At the same time, however, we must recognize the importance of using computers as a supplemental educational tool as opposed to a primary one. We must also recognize the importance of carefully selecting this tool, its accessories, and the environment with which it will work. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
