The further we move, the more we discover useful tips and strategies to better use the computer in the classroom. It might sound impossible for some to use one computer in a large class. I found out the answers to all the following questions.

How can I use one computer in my class?

How can I use one computer in a large class?

How can students learn from the computer?
