Yes computer as a mean to better educational achievement.\n\nHow I am using? Free online books/online examination/latest research work/ and a lot just from home.\n\nThe time which I had spent outside exploring these things, by the internet it is save and I can use that time for further imporovements.\n\nDo you also know that recently most of the Educational institutions are giving online education.\n\nIt is up to you how do you use internet.

I could only assume more educated teachers and of course technology.  Kids have computers, V smile, and many other forms of outside education.

Actually, School is an important life skill!  If no one went to school, how do we have computers, bombs, lights, speakers, mp3, pencils, mirrors????  This all come from science, a part of school learning.  Don't you want a good job that might put you in charge and not have to do as much work?

First, don't take an answer about education from someone who can't spell "phonics."\n\nYour question doesn't specify whether you're focusing on the teaching part of education, or the learning part of education, or both!\n\nThe personal computer is probably the most significant (and obvious) invention that aids in education.  As a teacher, I use a document projector in the classroom almost every day, which saves on paper and is a big improvement over the overhead project that used transparencies.  But the piece of technology that probably gets used the most in my educational setting is the copy machine!

my brother is in home schooling at first he didn't like it but now it has grown on him. He is in this program where everything is done over the computer and Internet. He can do his school work at his convenience there is no set time ,also he get to keep the laptop and the all in one (printer, fax, scanner, and copier) I guess it just depends on what program your in and the kid.

Technology.\n\nIronic that something that was created to quickly access knowledge in a convenient way has served to take away from learning as well.\n\nLet me explain....\n\nOur students have been experiencing ADD in higher numbers. One finding in research is that we have become a "push button" society. Children are "plugged in" and "unplugged" numerous times during a day. At one time it was the fault of a "remote control" of a tv that allowed people to surf through numerous channels looking for the right show to stimulate their needs. Now let's not only add the TV to the picture but include the internet. They may have four or five windows open jumping from email to answers to a game to chat site back to their homework. If one doesn't give them the stimuation needed they hop to another and to another. Click to this and back to that.......get bored.....move to next window.\n\nIn addition, students have lost the art of using books for research. They "google" or use wikipedia and rely on answers fed to them from sites that aren't always as reliable as documented print in books. Oh sure.....there are many wonderful sites out there too. Don't get me wrong. But it is not enough to just "google." Students really need to master researching skills and technology has enabled quick access but at a price of accuracy. \n\nWriting is suffering as well. Students are found writing papers in "chatonese." For example:\n\n"This book is the one 4 u! It is so hilarious that I was lol. J/K!" \n\nTeachers can teach writing in brilliant forms. However, if students continually chat on the net in chat speak, it becomes a habit that is hard to break in school.\n\nTechnology is a wonderful thing! But I fear that learning has become "easier" for children. Part of the learning process is taking responsibility for your learning rather than expecting an answer to be fed to you via the net. I'm very anxious about seeing where technology will progress positively in the class room.

You are at school to learn that is why. Imagine how tedious it was in the past to do all your research in the library. Appreciate the computor as a learning tool.It makes information readily available .You shouldn't have carte blanche with the computor anyway if you are a child.

The only advice i have learnt about education is that unless you have a will power to do it, there is no way you will succeed.  You need to have the stimulation that this is the course you want to do and this is the career i want to be and no matter what happens I will pass the course.  You have a relatively good chance of passing in computer but mathematics alone cannot determine.

Well you are doing pretty good if you got on here already.\n\nTons of sites showing how to use a PC...try google search.\n\nAlso try video professor\n\nhttp://www.videoprofessor.com/

Yes, but only if they are taught the correct way to use the computer. Like I have an encyclopedia and a dictionary downloaded on my computer. My third grade daughter gets extra credit on her reports all the time. The school also has a web site for homework help. So yes I think the computer is an awesome way for kids to learn.

It's becoming less of a focus, in large part due to technology and how it will, arguably in the near future, be integrated entirely into school curricula.  The spell check feature is going to replace spelling lessons.  Just another way technology "makes life easier."\n\nTheorists also believe that we'll "pick up" our mistakes and thier solutions as they're identified-- but these folks obviously haven't spent any time in the real world.  Theory and real-world application rarely coincide.  Why would any child take the time to recognize a spelling deficiency if there will always be a button to click that will correct things for them?  What is the motivation?

As a  teacher I have found that in most cases the use of the Internet is a positive research tool. Most students would rather click on the computer than go do real research in the library, but if you use the Internet correctly it can be a valuable time saver.  The down side is I have see so much plagiarism that students aren't thinking for themselves any more.... like all technology it is a positive tool when used with logic and for the right reasons.

kids get distracted easier on the computer

I agree with everyone who said if used for the designated purpose of learning, the aforementioned tools generally assist learning more than they hinder it. \n\nJust more on the iPods: scientists reckon that listening to music whilst studying helps you associate ideas (such as academic ones) with songs you like and choose to listen to, thus aiding your ability to retain information.

If this is an opinion based question, then my answer is yes, and no. Yes in that computers make people lazy (by using spell check,  abbreviations, etc.), and no in that people are free to choose to self-edit their own material (I did not spell check this, so I hope it meets with grammatical correctness guidelines). I do not believe that most people who own computers still know how to write a gramatically correct sentence or paragraph.
