Computers are they the wave of the future?

Older teachers shy away from them, younger teachers want them. Computers are the wave of the future with endless possibilities. Julie Stephens, high school English teacher at Wilson Classical High School, has three working computers in her classroom for a class size of about 30 students. Richard Marengo, computer and Spanish teacher at Jackie Robinson Academy, has four computers that his class of 20 plus uses for projects. Both schools have computer rooms but the teacher must sign up for the room for that day. Computers in the classroom can have a big affect on student’s opportunity for learning. Can the wave of the future be reality or is it just a dream?
