The world is changing and the way people living, working and studying are better and more convenient. The development of technology plays an important role in these changes. Computer is one useful tool has been used popular on the world. We can see computers help people very much in many fields of life, computer are influential in our lives. In education, computers were used to change the traditional education form and the government of many countries had many policies to bring computes to elementary school children. Whether to use computer at elementary school has long been a controversial issue. I am personality inclined to agree with the use of computer at elementary school for a number of benefits this policies offers.
One of the most obvious benefits of computer policies for elementary school children is that they bring to children a better learning environment. When computers were used in class room, children will have more information of lesson from computers, they can read, listen and learn on computer. Computers enable children to learn more creating, by using computer, they can research topic the teacher talks on the classroom and have more activities to improve their knowledge. All the resources on the computer will help children learn quickly as well. A research has showed that “In some innovative projects, computers are more than tools for bringing efficiency to traditional approaches. Instead, they open new and unforeseen avenues for learning. They allow children to interact with vast amounts of information from within their classrooms and homes. They tie children from across the world together” (Riel 1994).Children also have more condition to drill and practice when using computers. “In mathematics specifically, the computer can provide practice on arithmetic processes and foster deeper conceptual thinking. Drill-and-practice software can help young children develop competence in counting and sorting “(Clements and Nastasi, 1993)....
