The Computer in School:Tutor,Tool,Tutee

Computers are efficient classroom tools that can enhance education if used to benefit student learning and achievement. Integrating technology and education provides students with a global approach to learning and communicating.

The numerous tools available for use on computers, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and graphic creation software, will not only help students in any future career they pursue, but will also help them get there by being organized and able to work more efficiently than their counterparts who do not have computer abilities.

As well as the usefulness, if you enjoy solving problems and maybe creating something to help someone else solve their problems, then you're probably going to enjoy programming. Computer as a tutor increases the needs of learning some programming skills that helps educators to develop their ability to problem solving and decision making.Computers can act somehow as a teacher at schools by checking a paper’s spelling and grammar, giving a grade to students, telling stories to children with pictures and sounds, telling a student that his or her answer is wrong and explaining lessons with interactive media. It can do many amazing things when their designers and programmers tell them how. But a question arises; do we use this level of technology in education in Bahrain?

Ministry of education in Bahrain have focused on providing schools with computers and smart boards for the development of education in Bahrain, and in spite of that there is a significant lack of the necessary equipment in some schools, especially primary and intermediate schools where the shortage has led to the inability of teachers to improve their teaching styles using the technology.

However, computers have been used as a powerful tool in education. Most of the School's works depends on using computer's software especially Microsoft Office programs such as designing different  types of plans , recording students grades, designing classroom activities even students projects and researches but we still far of enabling students to practice programming in the educational field In order to enrich the educational process with useful educational software.
