Preparation

Allowing students to work on the computer is preparing them for their future and helping them adjust to the real world. Today, almost everything we do involves a computer in some way. Obtaining the skills needed to be successful on a computer comes from repetitive practice and becoming familiar with different ways a computer operates. It is important for students to work with computers so that as they get older, they feel comfortable in social and professional situations.

I think that preparing students with education technology is a great idea. Not only do they need to know how to use it for school, they will need to use technology in their future jobs. By integrating it into schools early, it makes it much easier for the kids to learn how to use it and use it well.

I agree completely. Technology is becoming more and more important in our lives. Kids need to learn all about computers especially at school because some parents aren't capable of teaching their kids everything they need to know. Kids need proper typing lessons as well. Many people can type just as fast with the "point and peck" method, but in the work place it doesn't look very professional.

I think you are correct in saying that without computer knowledge, a person would be lost in our society. Technology has become very important to people, and students need to be integrated into this technology as early as possible. Even the use of educational computer games in class can help teach the children more.

I think what you said is true. Now a days many different things involve using a computer. Preparing students with technology knowledge will help them out later on in the future. Learning about technology at a young age will help students later on in life.
