Roles of computer in education:
Computers are a brilliant aid in teaching.

Computers have given impetus to distance education.

Computer software help better presentation of information.

Computers enable access to the Internet which has information on literally

everything.

Computer hard drives and storage devices are an excellent way to store
data.

Continued
Computers play a vital role in every field.
They aid industrial processes, they find application in
medicine; they are the reason why software industries
developed and flourished and they play an important role in
education.
This is also why the education system has made computer
education a part of school curriculum.
Considering the use of computer technology is almost
every sphere of life, it is important for everyone to have at
least the basic knowledge of using computers.

Computers as used in education allows the learners to

learn modern tools and knowledge that will make him
or her ready for the possible technological changes in
the future.

Introducing computers in schools
Questions:
What should we do?
The world seems to be going in for technology in a big way.
When should we introduce computers into the curriculum?
What should be the contents and syllabus?
How should we go about it?

We need to address these as general concerns first and

understand the possibilities.

Then we should reflect about it in the light of our schools

emphasis and finally arrive at what SSRVM (or any other
school) should do.
7 SSRVM Computers in Schools
Approach
Awareness
see what exists, what are other people doing.
this presentation is a first step.
Appreciation
do some hands-on usage of technology.
reflect upon its implications.
Adoption
include computers in curriculum appropriately.
Computers in schools
Various conflicting view points exist
Some teachers and schools, especially in western
countries, seem to believe that there should be widespread
adoption of computers.
An extreme viewpoint is that computers can replace the teacher.
Often, this reaction is due to a mindless belief that technology is
always good.

Others, especially those who do not have much exposure

to technology, seem to believe that there should be only
minimum introduction of technology.
A extreme viewpoint is an insistence that traditional ways are
always better. Often, this reaction is from ones own insecurity.
Computers in schools
Our belief

We should be aware of the capabilities of present-day

technology and continuously stay updated.

We should use the technology carefully, only in places

where:
it can add real value to the children.
it can help teachers explain things better.
it can reduce some routine drudgery for the teachers.

We should not use technology to the point where:

it stifles the creativity of the children or the teachers.
it makes the teachers too dependent on external support.
it distracts us from our main objective.

Encouragement for teachers to take classes via skype, viber etc
Regular ICT discussion and frequent, brief workshops during staff
meetings;
One-on-one practice sessions during lunch breaks or after school;
Peer tutoring;

Contd..
Using computer to convey lectures.
Encouragement to attend computer courses within the system and
from other providers such as TAFE, or private training companies;
Assistance from friends and colleagues who are more computer
literate;
Use of "train the trainer" approaches; and
Clear identification/appointment of a "technology leader(s)" in the
school.
