REPORTS FROM LEARNERS


Do you think it is important for literacy programs to have computers? Do you like using computers? What do you like about them?

I think it is very important to learn something about computers, because we can learn so many things that will help us in the future and because there are so many jobs out there that require computer skills. I like using computers because it makes your work easier and faster to be done. Another thing I like is when we make mistakes we can simply fix the mistakes without starting again. I think computers are part of life. We should all be interested to learn about them. This is something important in daily life.

Yes I do think computers are important for literacy because you can use all kinds of programs such as reading, writing and math.

I do like using the computers in school. It's pretty easy to use and you can learn a lot from them and you can look up anything you want to know.

Today the more you know about computers the better off you are. They make life easy and if you are really good at it you can get a better job and more money for knowing how to use one.
