Today’s kids are tech savvy. Children accept the use of a computer from the very first moment they reach the age of sufficient to hold the mouse and point and click something on the computer screen. Give young learners the option of reading a book or exploring an interactive software program. That way, they choose the software every time. Educational Software is exciting. It speaks. Play sound, music, and video. How can any book, or even a textbook, hope to compete?

So why are educational software still largely ignored and underutilized in schools in the development of children’s education? One of the main factors can be budget constraints. Equipped with a computer in the classroom is a costly issue and can exceed the financial grasp of most schools. But traditionally, schools have always found ways to overcome financial constraints. How much money has been raised to build the new Olympic-sized swimming pool, new school hall, or replenish the library? So why is investing in IT an insurmountable hurdle?

The underlying answer to the question may be easier than most parents and educators can imagine. In most cases, the obstacles to implementing technology in the classroom are at the teacher’s own grassroots level. At any school, it is the teacher who creates the enthusiasm for adding a new dimension to the school’s current curriculum, adding value and benefiting students. Therefore, it is not surprising that it is the teacher’s attitude that determines the willingness to move to computers and Educational Software in School classrooms.

Fundamental deviations from the school’s teaching methods require the full cooperation and support of the teacher. Success or, in fact, the implementation of the new teaching method itself depends only on the educator’s willingness to embrace innovation. Many educators find it difficult and frightening to switch to technology. In particular, senior teachers, who often dislike techniques, have little interest in computers other than the benefits of email and word processing applications. Senior teachers come from another era when books were sacred and textbooks were the teacher’s only Bible and blueprint. I didn’t need anything more. They insist why it changes now.

If you have a school that plans to make a successful transition to computers in the classroom and embrace this new world of technology, you should start by persuading your teacher. The only way to do that effectively is to invest in teacher training and education. Teacher training should not only teach the benefits of using computers and educational software in the classroom, but also how to use computers. Studies show that there is a strong correlation between the number of hours of computer training that teachers believe in the positive benefits of computer technology in the classroom.

If the school wants to install a computer in the classroom, or if it wants to successfully implement educational software. We need the full support of our teachers.
