STUDENTS: Technology's Value to Me (r)

From ACES High School:

By Paul Quails

I think the Internet and the computer in general makes learning a quicker, more
efficient process.  We spend more time working independantly which helps us in
taking responsibility for our own work.  We also have access to the most current
information available because it is always being updated.  I think the Internet
is an excellent way of making learning more enjoyable and more effective.

Our knowledge of the world has changed because of all the different Internet
sights throughout the world.  We can contact sights in the Middle East to
Australia to Antarctica simply by hitting a few buttons, easily putting the
world at the tips of our fingers.


I think that working with the technology I have worked with, has prepared me
well if I decide to work with computers in my future career. I have learned how
to make a multi-media authoring project for childern to help them get interested
in learning to read. Iam also currently working on a report on the Sahara
desert.  Our class is currently receiving E-mail from Bill and Helen Thayer
about their trip across the Sahara desert.  I think that technology has prepared
me well for what ever career I choose. I have a lot more to learn about
computers and am now more interested to do this.  By the end of my senior year,
I feel I will be very prepared for my career.
