Very rough draft

It is important for students to have a computer as a tool to use during classes and for homework. Next year the faculty might ban computer from class. This makes it harder for students to take notes, write papers, and research subjects. If students are not using the computer as a tool it is there fault. They are the owns who will get punished in the end as their grades drop because they were instant messaging during class.

First, computers act as a tool for research. They allow you to brows the Internet looking for good information that can be used on papers, discussions, homework and many other purposes. Taking computers away in class would hinder these different subjects. For example, in Lynne’s class during discussions students will look up topics on goggle for backup or to find more information to add to the topic. Different activities in class would be held back without the use of the computer as a research tool.

Secondly, computers open up a whole new world when it comes to presenting. Computers offer programs like power point that allow students to present their work or research on a projector or just on their own computer screen. This is an exhalent tool to have throughout your life giving you an outstanding visual aid covering any possible topic. For example, I have presented 3 different slide shows using power point to my science class this year instead of reading a paper or giving a speech.

Thirdly, computers are extremely fast to type on and very easy to organize lots of work. It is a lot easier in class to be able to type notes out fast instead of having to write all the words out. Then when you are done with your work it is easy to organize it into files for every class instead of having to carry around a notebook for every class.

Computers are an important part of learning, and important tool for all students at Proctor Academy. Next year students still should be able to use their computers as a privilege like they do now. It is there job to be the ones to differentiate between working diligently in class on their computer and searching the web or instant messaging. If they make the wrong desertions there grades will suffer. It is the student own fault if he or she is not working productively, not the teachers.



Dont wory Tom this is just the rough draft.
