We all know nowadays how the computers are important in the process of teaching and learning, and how it adds benefits to the education where the computer are used for the several teaching methods and techniques.
To understand the application of computing in relation to education you have to understand the three modes of these application, and they are at first: the computer as tutor, at second: the computer as tool, and at third: the computer as tutee.
1) The computer functions as Tutor: the computer have to be programmed by experts, the computer represent some materials where the student has to respond, and the computer evaluate the student responding at the end.
2) The computer functions as a Tool: the computer need to have a simple used programs such as: word processing or calculating where that student use these programs.
3) The computer functions as Tutee: to use the computer as tutee is to tutor the computer, where the teacher or the student must talk to the computer with the language it can understand.
There is no matter that the computer technologies with the different modes support the teaching and learning process and rise the education to upper steps. I think learning without the computer will be inefficient that’s why through my experience I have used the computer to activate my lesson such as: I have created different videos that help the students clearly knowing the steps to do several tasks, interactive games by flash or other programs that make the understanding level of the students is high, also communicating with the students by e-mails or groups to discuss different issues.
In the other hand I can say that there are some negatives of using the computer in all cases such as: affecting the social relations because the students will spend more time working on the computer, books will be un-useful since they will use the computer to get the information they need, and it might affects the health.
