Use of computer in class

Use of computer in class:

The goal of using computer in the class is to help ESL teachers help students use computers as a tool to further their acquisition of English.

According to Barry Bakin, the computer is a good way to reinforce information, add an interactive element to a lesson, or provide varied activities which meet the learning styles of different students.

We have to focus on Pre-use of computer, While use of computer, and post use of computer.

for both teachers and students. It's really very nice. I enjoyed learning new things.
