Space Research and Defence

                  In space research and defence, computers are used to:
                  •  conduct research on space

                  •  help our soldiers by giving important information

                  •  send rockets in space
                  •  forecast weather



                   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.
