Computers are a tool that students must be able to master in order to meet the demands of today and tomorrow. Such aspects as written communications, research and other educational skills are growing more and more dependent on computers and computer-driver equipment, such as Promethian boards.

It seems that computers will play a greater part in daily life as well as education in the future. Based on the growth of computer usage in business, school and home, I would expect to see computers continue to grow in importance.

In education, as long as we continue to employ many different techniques to reach our children, the computer offers many creative possibilites to teach virtually every subject. Educators must meet the challenge to learn to use technology to the best of their abilities to make it work for all of our children. Those refusing to embrace technology will be left in the past, offering less to themselves as well as the children that they teach.
