PCs can help change the learning experience from the
traditional approach—a teacher talking at the front of a
classroom, with reading tasks—to a more hands-on approach that
takes advantage of the natural curiosity of students of all ages.
PCs enable students to explore information at their own speed,
to learn from sound and pictures as well as from text, to do
experiments, and to work together with other students.
PCs are the primary tools for working and communicating in
the digital age. The PC and the Internet change one thing
completely: they provide every student in every school and
community with information and ways of working that, before
now, were not available even to students at the best schools.
Educators will take advantage of that to help their communities.
PCs are a new teaching and learning tool, and educators who use
them will be the agents of change.
