Moreover, novel programs such as power point, graphics, animations can be used as teaching aids to augment the learning. As an example, Finland which has one of the most successful education systems uses technology based teaching methods in schools. Hence, teaching and learning, both can be flourished through deploying computers in the education.
In conclusion, being an essential component of the education, computers provide definitive benefits. It not only opens the door to the knowledge but also assists in teaching even though there are circumstances which restrict the interactive learning through online teaching.
