Now, through the Internet it
is possible to attend very different courses connecting to each other through the net with
your own computer. In fact, thanks to the new computer technology, it is possible to have
a virtual personal teacher at home and in every moment with an easy
"click". With these courses you can improve your scholastic output in a simple
and fast way; in America by now all this has been effected in a way greater than in Italy.
Computers in the schools
Today, in almost all schools
there is at least one multimedial laboratory, in which boys and girls can learn to use
computers. In schools computers are used for all disciplines, with different purposes: to
learn to program, to be connected to the net, to make web pages, to communicate with the
rest of the world. In the near future computers will be used more and more by pupils and
teachers to make life easier.
Substitution of books with
CD-ROMs
CD-ROMs, unlike books, are
lighter, have more information and are more practical. Because of this fact, by now, a lot
of encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc... have begun to use this new means of communication.
In America, teachers have already begun to replace books with CD-ROMs, with good results;
and this will have effects all over the world.
