i + ROLE OF COMPUTERS IN EDUCATION
Computers are very helpful in almost everything we do. They have enhanced the
teaching and learning process by making education very friendly and interesting.
Education through computers is also called e-learning.
Lot of Information
Computers help students find information on almost any
topic. They use this information in making their projects and
assignments. Computers are useful in almost every subject
for students. For example:
• In English, they can check spellings, find meanings, learn
grammar, etc.
• In Maths, they can find solutions to many problems.
• In Science, they can find videos and lessons on any topic.
Convenience
Computers help students read content whenever they want.
They can read it again and again, and in different formats.
Interactive Lessons
Nowadays smart classrooms have made it easy for children to understand any
subject easily. Teachers can also use pre-recorded audios or videos to explain topics
more efficiently rather than wasting time writing on boards, or creating diagrams.
Computers also help students understand better through interactive lessons.
Easy Assessment
Teachers can input grades and prepare lesson plans and assessments on a
computer. Students appear for online tests and get results also online. Teachers
also communicate between students and parents using video calls or other online
communication modes. This also helps in keeping a check on their performance.
