No. kids spend too much time in front of the thing as it is.

Yes I would switch.  If the new teacher does not work out, you can switch again.

Yes, \nTechnology can support teaching and learning by including more senses (visuals to go along with lectures) etc. to provide more input for students and sometimes give them a chance for more active learning.  Not everyone is an auditory learner who does well with lectures and technology helps other kinds of learners.

Not really.  Most times, the only person with a computer is going to be the teacher, at least up through high school.  In college, sure, but the excuse is that the students are theoretically taking notes on their laptop instead of chatting/surfing the Internet.

What do you want to teach? What would you like to do for the world?  Computers in business?  If you give a clue something will click.

Teaching is one of the most challenging professions because learners fall into so many categories.  Computers are a great resource if one has a multiple presentation program.  Students can proceed at their own pace, they can hear and see the material, and at some point, they may virtually experience the lesson.  Pencils, pens, and paper are good tools, memorization exercises seem to help the ability to recall, exercise, especially stretch, help the body become more alert and less distracted, tape recorders are great for speech class and therapy.  Technology has its uses, but they are limited by the teacher's mind.

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.

Teachers fill a very necessary role in society.  Take away the teachers and nobody would be able to "do".

Not at all! Teaching is a physically and intellectually challenging job, and most teachers are up to the task. Those who are not should be weeded out to seek employment elsewhere. There are many who "can't" who TRY to teach, but they "can't" do that either.\n\nChow!!

Are you technically savvy?  Many people have old computers at home, if you can get them to donate them to the school and then build a lab based on donations.\n\nThe only problem is that usually you need the operating system disks that came with the computer.  In the past I have tried giving away older computers with software on the them, and could not because the schools wanted new,  top of the line hardware.\n\n8 year old kids don't need that.  There are excellent programs out there like Reader Rabbit (I think they are still there) that run on older computers.  \n\nYou really could even get by without an internet connection at that level.\n\nReader Rabbit is great for reading, I think there was a Math rabbit too. I believe it was the learning company, that did this software.  I think there was also science software as well.   \n\nA bowling program can be used for math and don't forget a plain old typing tutor.\n\nUse a spreadsheet for the weather, track the temp, rain, winds, sunshine,  The kids can learn everything there from science and weather forecasting (don't forget clouds etc) to simple statistics-- the average temp, the mean temp, even the bell curve and Standard deviations.\n\nIf you have an internet connections, you can study Pandas and use the Panda cam to watch them.  I think Sea World has some web cams as well.\n\nI guess if I thought about it I can go on and on.\n\nI would love to get involved in something like this, it would be so much fun.  I wish I knew where you were.\n\nI wish all of the questions on Yahoo Ansers were like yours.

Without a doubt there is nothing like true classroom instruction.  If that is not possible then online is a decent second choice.

Here's a few. Maybe you can get permission from the website owners to modify them for your students.  The first one is probably the best for your needs.

no it is def not you. for example, the person who answered first gave the wrong "its", so there is prove right there. The problem is Microsoft Word. it corrects grammer, punc., and spelling so that people don't have to use their brains anymore. Technology is actually killing education slowly but surely.
