Having access to computers will improve my students learning in many ways. For example, my students will be able to connect to the world by reading literacy that stimulates their critical thinking skills and improve their reading abilities. Students will also have the opportunity to respond to literacy questions which will also improve students writing and typing skills. Furthermore, having access to technology my students will be able to connect with other students globally to discuss various literature. If we had these computers my students will have accesses to technology at least 3 times a week. Our school currently has 200 computers for 660 students.
