SHORTCOMINGSSHORTCOMINGS
need more computers in the classroom students lack computer skills
These are probably obvious and universal problems inherent with technology in the classroom; therefore, they should not even be considered “shortcomings” at this time in history. Time will remedy the situation.
SummarySummary
This project has made me more aware of the possibilities for using technology in the classroom. The computer is a powerful tool, but the Internet is an exciting outreach medium. It makes the teacher available at all times in that the assignment is always available to a student or to a parent who wishes to assist their child or just look in on what is happening in the classroom.
