Question

What are the bebefits we can get from computers?

Answer 1

Prior to the introduction of GPTutor program [geometry program], the teacher spent a disproportionate amount of time answering questions posed by more advanced students, since this strategy was more likely to save time, result in a correct answer, and avoid embarrassing less advance students.  In contract, it was the poorer student who began receiving more of the teacher’s attention in the GPTutor classroom, since such help was somewhat more private and since brighter students could take advantage of the help given by the software.

       A second change reported in the study was a shift from the traditional role of the teacher as an authoritative expert to a role in which the teacher was more of a collaborator.  Accompanying the introduction of the computers was a reduction in the time used by the teacher for lecture.  Instead, the teacher would roam about, checking students’ progress and making himself or herself available to students requesting help.

       A third change noted in the study was that the help given by the teacher became more individualized, and was more often initiated by the student than by the teacher, as compared with the situation prior to the introduction of computers. There is a lot of educational software available for children of all ages; the key to a successful educational program is to make it fun and entertaining with graphics and games.  Some notable games that are educational and entertaining are the SimCity, type games.  As well as a new science game called “Quarky & Quaysoo’s Turbo Science, from Sierra…Turbo Science wraps cartoon characters and some competition around a core of physical science.

     The benefit of educational software is two fold, if children use it at home, they will be learning which will help them while they are in school, as well these educational programs used in the classroom allow for teachers to use another tool to give children the enthusiasm they need for learning.  

This paper was intended to show these benefits and to make it known that more computers are needed in classrooms.  The more computers there are the more time teachers can have with their students, which benefit both student and teacher.  The challenge that faces students and teachers in regards to computers in the classroom are being able to use computers as effectively as possible without being restricted from certain sites, or having to deal with IT staff who make it difficult to use the computers the best way possible.  thats all i know you may find another good answers more than mine

Answer 6

The benefits of a computer in a preschool classroom I believe are negligible. Unless you are in a very poor community where they do not have computers at home. If your in a middle to upper middle class area then all it will do is create a want for the kids to sit at the computer while at the preschool, where what they really need is to be doing more active hands on learning.

If you are in a poorer neighborhood where the majority do not have computers at home if introduced and done correctly they can be another learning device. However I don't think kids need the computer to learn, the hands on and teacher interaction is best!
