Computers in the Classroom - Technology in education

For students, computers provide a way to write reports without the pain of holding a pen of pencil and writing a handwritten report. There is a downside, as students may goof off and play games on the computer.

For teachers, computers provide an easier way to save scores for different assignments. As for downsides, there aren't many for teachers, except for the hassle of reminding students what they should be doing instead of goofing off.
