Daily Routine

• Everyday elementary school students perform the
  same routine as almost any other day
• Repetition helps to keep students in line, and
  helps maintain their focus
• Fun and creative activities help to increase
  their memory and ignite their creative side

Use of the Computer

• The computer is used in many ways at the
  elementary school level
• Some teachers use it as a reward system, so when
  written work is accomplished they can play a game
  on the computer
• Also work and research are performed on the
  computer
• The use of computer games helps to emphasize what
  was learned in class

Money

• Unfortunately not all school districts can afford
  computer systems
• This provides unequal opportunity amongst faculty
  and staff in different locations
• Even having one computer in the entire school is
  helpful
• Money unfortunately affects all aspects of life
  including education

Benefits

• The computer benefits students at the time they
  are long and in the future
• This is the most developmental time for children
  and the idea of learning in more than one way can
  boost confidence and intelligence
• The computer is becoming more common in the
  classroom than ever before and should continue to
  do so
