One of the most common applications of computers in education today involves the
ongoing use of educational software and programs that facilitate personalized online
instruction for students. Programs like iReady use computers to assess students in
reading and math. Students then work on interactive reading and math lessons that are
designed to target the specific academic needs identified during diagnostic testing.
Educational software like this makes it easier to differentiate instruction so that lessons
meet each student’s unique learning needs. These tools also provide a wealth of useful
data and resources that teachers can use to work with their students in the classroom
and maximize learning. Online assessments are more efficient than traditional paper
testing because it allows for more immediate feedback and data.
School Level:
A student starts their experience with computers mostly during their primary years of
education. They are introduced to computer technology in education right from school
level. In these few years, they are taught the basics, that is, theory lessons about what
computers are its parts, their individual uses, and purposes. Along with the theoretical
knowledge, they are exposed to the computer in real-time and made to work on it.
Students learn the basic uses and applications. Simple things like how to copy-paste a
particular data with the help of keyboard shortcuts, using applications that do not
require any network connection, and more. A student can also access educational
websites that offers enormous amount of knowledge they can gain.
Along with these lessons, computers serve students and teachers in various other ways.
Schools these days instruct teachers to send home works to students through e-mails.
So, each student is given a personal email for all their school assignments, and other
activities. An individual has their own portal where they submit their home works and
assignments, surf the internet for their projects, collaborate with their group members
and more. They are also made to bring out their creativity while using MS-Paint and other
such applications. Similarly, computers are used at a considerably deeper level in high
school. A student is taught to create websites, creative applications and more. Also,
software like Java, C++ and more are introduced to them where they develop codes that
require their logical reasoning and thinking.
College Level:
By the time a child reaches the college level, they are well versed with the usage of a
computer and its applications. Therefore, college going students, make the most out of
computers for all their academic requirements. There are many students who cannot
afford textbooks, so they rely on the internet for their studies. Also, assignments are
given at a professional level which needs a lot of research and studying. Students have
to submit all their projects and thesis through their academic portals or e-mails. There
are more other ways a student can use computers such as for learning their subjects or
lessons by watching video lessons, attending online classes, and more. Apart from the
academic necessities, computers with internet connections let you socialize with others,
learn new things; know what is happening around the globe by reading or watching the
news, and so on.
The benefits of using computers in the classroom goes beyond more efficient assessment
and opportunities for online learning. Mobile devices and technologies are an inevitable
part of society, but that does not mean that students naturally understand how to use
those technologies appropriately. Using computers in the classroom gives teachers an
opportunity to teach digital citizenship skills that demonstrate ways to use technology
correctly and responsibly.
Computers also help maximize student engagement. Modern students are regularly
exposed to technology outside of the classroom. Most use and enjoy smartphones and
other mobile devices, which is why they are more likely to engage in the learning process
if it involves something to which they are already accustomed and enjoy.
TEACHER USE OF COMPUTERS IN THE CLASSROOM
Computers have revolutionized the teaching profession in multiple ways. Teachers use
computers to record grades, calculate averages, manage attendance and access data on
student performance in online programs and assessments. Computers have also made it
easier for teachers to vary their instructional delivery. Instead of lecturing at the front of
the room for an entire class period, teachers can incorporate technology into their lessons
to keep students engaged while appealing to a variety of learning styles. From using
computers to create presentations on a topic to showing video clips that complement the
lesson at hand, technology helps teachers make the content easier for students to
understand.
Where there is a positive impact, there definitely will be a negative impact of things.
Therefore, as much a boon computer can be, they can even harm an individual’s life. We
have seen all the positive outcomes that computers have and how it can nurture and
develop students in their respective academic lives. Now, let’s see how they can affect
children in a non-positive way.
The effects may be severe on college students as well, basically, anyone who has
access to the internet. Creating public profiles for socializing can make you a victim to
cyberbullying. With everything available on the internet, students can easily astray from
their academic paths. In other words, they may get tempted to watch movies, or while
away their time by accessing non-useful content while they are supposed to be studying.
It increases laziness in a person and deviates them from exploring their full potential.
