Productivity tools
Word processors, spreadsheets, graphics programs, Web browsers, email programs—software tools used by adults—are the tools students learn to use most often in schools.
Some schools also provide special-purpose tools for classroom use, including:
Laboratory sensing hardware and software that can be used to collect scientific data (such as temperature) and convert it into computer data to be analyzed by students
Collaborative writing groupware that enables students to work collectively on creative writing and editing projects
Music synthesizers with sequencing and notation software for teaching music composition
