Using Computer in Education

If you're wondering how teachers are using computer in education, there are online non-profit organizations that have the aim of educating teachers to make the most out of computers in classrooms.

One of the leading national organizations that have this aim is Tech Corps, the leading national nonprofit for this purpose, mobilizing technology volunteers into schools, offering tech support and teacher training.

They offer high quality technological resources that aims to enrich K-12 teaching and learning and prepare tomorrow's workforce.

Tech Corps was founded in 1995 and is sponsored by such companies as Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and YES Network.

Using Computer in Education - Tech Corps

Tech Corps has three major ways in which they support the use of computers in classrooms.

For one, there is a web tutorial for teachers on educational computer use located at webteacher.org.

That site offers information on such topics as "Web in the Classroom", "Communicating" (using the computer), and "Peripherals and Utilities".

Another way in which Tech Corps supports education is through tech4schools.techcorps.org.

That web site is an online tech support for schools.

Finally, there is studenttechcorps.com, which delivers core technology training and certification to middle school and high school students.

The aim is then to harness that knowledge to power a student-run Help Desk to assist with technical support.
