We cannot live without computers

The Computer is very important in our life especially in our schools, as well from my experience as a teacher I use the computer in three modes:

Firstly as a Tutor:

Since I learned the secondary school students, so The curriculum is based on cooperative learning  , brainstorming and learning self strategies, so I give the students some instructions only and the students must use the book, help menu and the Internet to learn more.
 But to develop my skills to serve me as a teacher so I learned some software’s from CD’s and from Internet like Photoshop, Ms Access, Active white board skills, besides that I learned the ICDL course by self.

Secondly as a Tool:

Use the Calculator to calculate the student marks, also the paint to do some graphics, moreover I used the Net support to explain the lessons. In addition I Used the Ms word to prepare the lesson plan, researches, reports, tests and used the Ms PP to prepare Presentations. Besides that I Designed appreciation certificates and cards for occasions using the Photoshop and Ms Word. Finally I prepared movies using movie maker.

Thirdly as a tutee:

Prepare the programs that used during the explanation of the visual basic subject and also I calculate student marks using Ms Excel.

So from the above, I can say that I use the computer as a Tool, then as a Tutor and as a Tutee in the last. And this is strange because I graduated from Computer Science. In my opinion the reason for this is depend on the nature of our work in the schools as a teacher. And I hope through the BTC that I will develop my use of the computer in the three modes.
