These days computer has become an important contributor in the area of education and I believe that it is playing and will play an important role in learning. Computer can be used in three basic ways in schools as a tutor, tutee and tool.
In my area of specialization as a computer science teacher I have used the computer in these three ways. I have used the computer as a tool in the teaching process when I taught my students MS word and other office programs where the students use the computer as a mean to do specific things like writing a letter.
Computer can also be used as a tutor and here the computer will teach the learner and he/ she has to respond. My master thesis was about implementing such system; I have developed a computerized testing module using Visual Basic and provide it with the material and pupils have to respond to the questions.
Finally, Computer works as a tutee where the students have to learn a programming language like Visual Basic, C and other languages to build a program that will teach the subject and in my opinion in this way the students will learn more about the subject in order to write the program and I think that the gained information will be much more than the other ways.
