   Since their introduction in schools in the early 1980's, computer and computers software have been increasingly accessible to students and teachers in classrooms, computer labs, school libraries, and outside of school. Computers can be used for learning and teaching in school in at least four ways.
     First, learning involves acquiring information. Second, learning involves the progressive development of skills like reading and mathematics-skills that are basic academic enablers. Software called "computer-assisted instruction," or CAI, poses questions to students and compares each answer with a single correct answer. Third, learning involves the development of a wide variety of analytic competencies and complex understandings.
     Computers help students attain these goals through software such as word processors (to clarify ideas through writing", graphing and "construction" tools (to clarufy concepts and examine conjectures in mathematics), eletronic painting and computer-assisted drafting (CAD) programs, music compostion programs, simulations of social environments, and programs that collect data from science laboratory equipment and aid in its analysis.
      Finally, a large element in learning is communicating with others, finding and engaging an audience with one's ideas and questions. Several types of computer software can be used in school for communication.

   1. De acordo com o texto qual o papel do computador nas escolas?
    2. Como o processo de aprendizado pode ser desenvolvido com o auxílio do computador?
      3. Como a comunicação pode ser desenvolvida com o uso do computador?
