Some teachers exploit this favorability among children and use computers as tool for enhancing and improving learning experience for their student.

It allows students to go beyond the practical boundaries placed in a classical class room environment. As a result bright students may not need to adjust with the speed of other pupils.

Although computer is supposed to provide lots of advantage it can’t beat the human intelligence which a classroom teacher possesses.
