Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 Basic Science and Technology, Computer Studies. In our previous lesson, we learned about Drawing of Computer Parts. Today, we’re going to learn about the Uses of Computer in School.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- List 2 uses of computers in schools.
- Explain how computers can enhance learning.
Uses of Computer in Schools
Computers are important tools in schools. They are used for various purposes, such as:
- Research and Information Gathering: Computers provide access to a vast amount of information through the internet and other resources. Students can use computers to research topics, find answers to questions, and gather information for projects.
- Enhancing Learning through Educational Software: There are many educational software programs available that can help students learn in a fun and interactive way. These programs can cover a wide range of subjects, from math and science to language arts and history.
- Communication and Collaboration: Computers facilitate communication and collaboration among students, teachers, and parents. Students can use computers to send emails, participate in online discussions, and work together on projects.
- Creative Expression: Computers provide students with tools for creative expression, such as word processing, graphic design, and video editing. Students can use these tools to create presentations, write stories, and design projects.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about the uses of computers in schools, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
