5 pages in length. There is little question that technology has given considerable advantage to reading skills at the school grade level, not only serving to improve present learning skills but also setting the stage for increased capability later on in school as well. Part of the challenge of acquiring a good, sound education is getting the student interested in the lesson plan; while some are inherently good students, others require the extra added incentive that such technological advances as computer access offers.

Computers in Education: Friend or Foe?
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page review of the literature for answers to the question of how appropriate computers are in the educational environment. The author reviews four specific articles from online technology journals. The conclusion is reached that computers can be tremendously powerful tools both in terms of student output and learning and also in terms of teacher output and learning. Through computers students have access to materials at the speed of light. They can incorporate new information, make changes and revisions, and produce considerably more high quality reports and projects in much less time than that which would be involved utilizing more traditional resources. At the same time, however, we must recognize the importance of using computers as a supplemental educational tool as opposed to a primary one. We must also recognize the importance of carefully selecting this tool, its accessories, and the environment with which it will work. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Creating an Online Community College Course for High School Students
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses a case study in which a community college wants to create a course for high school seniors in a particular region outlining what students should expect regarding a college education. With an effective Internet presence, the college believes it can help these students understand the challenges of college, how to meet those challenges, and, hopefully, choose their institution as the place to begin their college career. However, marketing the community college is very much secondary to exposing students to topics such as how to choose classes, how to budget both time and finances, and choosing a major.
