I try and put myself in that situation(coming from a teacher's perspective)and it must be really tough. Children, as much as we'd like them to, don't always think like teachers and it can be tough at times when we can't get them to do something or make them understand why things are done the way they are. When I see teachers like this one, I get a nice feeling knowing that there are good teachers still out there. I think that having access to computers is a wonderful idea. Children are having to grow up in a world where technology has become a part of everyday life activities. I'm not too sure about being very helpful to my students when it comes to computers but I'm willing to learn what it takes. When I have my classroom I will try and limit the use of computers for games and maybe for certain lessons, but not so that it takes over the teacher. The teaching should be done by the teacher and not the computer.
