Computers in Education

The role of computers in education today depends on where the education is taking place. There is an uneven playing field in education, and especially in the access to technology. Depending on what technology the students have at home, what technology there is at the school and in the school district determines the role of computers etc in today's education.

I hope that technology in the future could level the playing field in education if all districts implemented the use of technology in all classrooms.

Technology should be used  in conjunction with traditional teaching methods, and not to replace lectures, reading, writing ect. Students should be able to pay attention to people and books the way they can pay attention to a video game!
