¶ … Education and computers [...] college or university with no desktop computers for students to use, and how this wireless and LAN environment would change the educational process. The traditional educational process is brick-and-mortar based, and depends on classroom interaction and discussion. Classrooms of the future could be virtual, and the need for traditional college campuses might fade away.
Education and Computers
The absence of desktop computers in the educational environment might be difficult to cope with at first, however, providing each student with a wireless notebook computer could eventually prove to be more convenient for the students, and would certainly change the educational process in a wide variety of ways.
One expert believes there are four different types of students
One type is the "empty student," those who have need for certain skills, information, and knowledge, but have little idea about what they need to know and/or how it might be acquired. More directed in their efforts are the "searching students," who need an environment in which they can carry out...
Another type is the "creative student," whose need is for the tools which facilitate creative work, not the foundational skills and knowledge which underlie that work. Finally, the "social students" need interaction with their peers and the world at large in order to solidify their learning, deepen their understanding, and further develop their creative abilities (Ragsdale 160).
Clearly, the use of laptop computers in education would affect each of these types of students differently. The empty student might not know or understand what it is they need to find via the computer, and might not speak up. The searching student might utilize the laptop more effectively, but might not get the benefit of classroom discussion if they spend too much time searching on their own. The creative student would probably benefit the most from the laptop environment, because they could use the computer to tap into their creativity at any time - day or night. However, the social student would probably suffer the most, as they would continually crave the interaction that…
Training Program Design and Development These considerations do not, however, lead to the conclusion that all instruction, especially training, is hopelessly idiosyncratic and thereby beyond all structure and control. There is still much that can and should be done to design, develop, and implement instructional programs beyond simply providing opportunities for trial and error with feedback. Systematic development of instruction is especially important for programs intended to produce a steady stream
To some users of personal computers, who state, never trust a computer that you cannot lift; the IBM has been viewed, more often than not, as an enemy, and according to Byte, the computer magazine, this was because of the fact that the IBM company rose to fame mainly on the basis of its mainframe computers, that were large and forbidding, and overwhelmingly bulky. This was probably why, when
In fact, it is difficult to imagine many other possible areas where increased funding and emphasis would equal the benefits of investing in computer technology in higher education. Computers on campus facilitate communications between students and faculty that provides much closer supervision and better access to professors on the part of students. Even in liberal arts studies of classical literature, computers allow instantaneous access to commentaries and many different
Computers Are an Underutilized Resource for High School Physical Education Teachers Computers have become an integral part of the high school learning environment, beginning in the early 1990s. They provide a vast variety of resources to help enhance student education through presentation of material in a variety of media and act as an enhancement to teacher lessons. They can sometimes free teachers from routine tasks, allowing them to bring greater depth
Computer Science Fundamentals Too often the mechanistic are taken for granted in computer science. The technology has been around long enough now, that many take for granted the great powers that computers and computing technology has afforded modern man and his society. The fundamental characteristics of any successful endeavor should be investigated to help identify a pattern and produce learning and gather information. The purpose of this essay is identify and explain
Computer Vulnerabilities Computer Security Vulnerabilities The extent of the problem This is not a small issue. The book "Analyzing Computer Security" lays out the following scenario: "First, 20 million U.S. smart phones stop working. Next follow outages in wireline telephone service, problems with air traffic control, disruptions to the New York Stock Exchange, and eventually severe loss of power on America's East Coast" (Pfleeger & Pfleeger, 2011, 3). The authors are talking about
