1. Computers and Elementary Schools
By: Jaclyn Prato

2. Daily Routine
Everyday elementary school students perform the same routine as almost any other day
Repetition helps to keep students in line, and helps maintain their focus
Fun and creative activities help to increase their memory and ignite their creative side

3. Use of the Computer
The computer is used in many ways at the elementary school level
Some teachers use it as a reward system, so when written work is accomplished they can play a game on the computer
Also work and research are performed on the computer
The use of computer games helps to emphasize what was learned in class

4. Money
Unfortunately not all school districts can afford computer systems
This provides unequal opportunity amongst faculty and staff in different locations
Even having one computer in the entire school is helpful
Money unfortunately affects all aspects of life including education

5. Benefits
The computer benefits students at the time they are long and in the future
This is the most developmental time for children and the idea of learning in more than one way can boost confidence and intelligence
The computer is becoming more common in the classroom than ever before and should continue to do so
