This document discusses the benefits of computer-based learning in education. It outlines how technology is changing education by allowing things like laptops, tablets, and smart boards in classrooms. Computer-based learning provides educational opportunities through curricular development, research, record keeping, and presentation. The benefits include modernizing education, improving student performance, learning job skills, and increased efficiency. Specific subject areas that benefit include science through simulations, social studies through access to different perspectives, mathematics through engagement and practice, and language arts through interactive and adaptive programs. Overall, computer-based learning prepares students for the technology-focused workforce and allows for global interaction.
