DISADVANTAGES
• Cost• Equipment• Software• Training
• Accountability of work• Less of a personal touch
• Computer aided instruction is here and will only continue to be more prominent. We need to be aware of these resources and how to use them properly.
• I would like to see more CAI that involves students working with programs that forces them to think more globally. Hopefully they can connect with students from other countries.
Final Thoughts
• Computer aided instruction does not have to mean one student and one computer. There are ways to do small group activities.
