final exam

First off, I would like to say that I am really glad that I live in the time period that I do because there is lots to do. With computers, you practically have the world at your fingertips. It's really amazing what people can do.
The class I would choose would be English, and have there be computers I picked that subject for a few reasons. Those reasons are that in English people usually have to write essays, cd rom programs, you can use the internet to look up information, and you can find so many videos for basically everything.
This would help the students to write the essays. Even though I normally do type up my essays, sometimes my computer is down, or I'll forget it at home. This way, you have it right there with you in class. It would also make it easier to see who actually has worked on the assignment or just messed around.
Cd-rom programs can be extremely helpful. I have found disks that are for different grade, SAT help, spanish, learning how to type on a keyboard, educational games, world history, etc. There is something for every subject. These programs help the students have more fun in school.
If you go to Google, you can find anything. There are a ton of other search engines too. There are so many websites for news, cultuare, information, teaching help, activities, etc. With computers, students can find the information in less time than from a book.
On youtube, there are so many videos. In my science class, Ron and Jon, have used a video on youtube to help us learn. It was more interesting than a lecture. Plus, it is kind of cool that they looked on youtube.
The required text for students, would be to read articles from http://hbswk.hbs.edu/industries/technology.html. This website has many many articles about technology and the evolution of technology. This would teach students about what they would be using.
There are articles about software, browsers, computers, and technology in general. One article that would be extremely important to read would be http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5439.html. This describes browsers in paticular, and studies. Another great article would be http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5729.html. This article describes the evolution of Apple. It would be a good idea for students to learn about Apple because, Apple is quite possibly the biggest technology business.
I would hope that this course would help prepare students for life after high school. Basically every job has computer usage. It is extremely important to learn more about computers because the computer industry is just getting larger. Computers are in libraries, schools, businesses, doctor's office, etc. If students don't learn how to use computers, finding and keeping a job may be difficult.
