- 1). Expose a student to the capabilities a computer brings to his education. With the help of a computer, science projects can have edited video, a history project can have a multimedia presentation, and speech class can be kicked up a notch with visual aids. Computers can expand the creativity of a student through the use of technology.
- 2). Improve a student's abilities through educational software. High-tech reading and math software on the market today can have a dramatic impact on how a student responds to these types of subjects. Students are able to use interactive software to learn, as opposed to simply listening to an instructor. This allows them to listen, view the material, practice it and get feedback immediately.
- 3). Prepare students for the workforce by encouraging the use of computer applications in their education. Children growing up in a technologically rich environment will have more opportunities to be well-versed in computer applications that can be used in their future jobs. Use of word processors, multimedia programs and presentation software will give children a higher value to a future employer and expand their achievements.
- 4). Deploy technology to assist language learners become proficient. Students who attend English as a Second Language (ESL) classes now have access to some of the best language software in the world. This also applies to children wanting to learn foreign languages that they otherwise would not have instructors for.
