Computer changing the way to educate

Computers the way of the future. But computer have been around from when I was a kid. Sure they weren’t as common as they are now that everyone has their own personal computer. As a kid my family had one that use the big black floppy disks and ran on DOS. With them being around for so long they had to changed the way things were done in the past as well. When I first started going to school I remember having to go to the library and looking up a subject in the reference section on those little white index cards telling you what book had the info you wanted and were it should be in the library if it hadn’t been checkout or miss placed on the wrong shelf or worst wrong section. But in middle school things started to change for the better. Computer were getting cheaper that public schools had enough of them that they were useful and more so the internet. That made looking up a topic easier, having all the information for a report the teacher had me doing. It made life easier, plus I didn’t have to try and find the book before someone else checked it out from the library. With me that’s a good thing I work well under pressure, so naturally I'm also a procrastinator so getting the info at any hour and not worry about the book being there is always great. But that’s not the only way computers change education for me, the way a turn in my reports changed as well. Before I had to hand write them a few pages but now I had to type them up, which was nice for me as I cant spell to save my life and the red swingy line that Microsoft put in Word is my friend. Without spell check my reports would have looked like they came from a kid with a simpler vocabulary. With them all nicely typed I just had to printing them up double space so the teacher could add their red little notes in the space in-between. Then it got even easier when I didn’t have to print it out any more just email to him or her. Those were the easy days of high school. But computer have now made it that I can go to school from anywhere. I'm now in the military and that makes me move and travel quite a bit. Which I love to see new place, with computer and every college/university allowing me to take on-line classes like this one I don’t have to worry about going on a temporary assignment in another state or around the world. If a deployment comes up I know that all I have to do is let my professors know that Ill be off line for a week or so for travel time and in processing and anything else while I get reset up, which most of the time I just get the work done early. So my MacBook is my classroom. It doesn’t matter if I'm at work, sitting on my living sofa, or deployed half way around the world. As I have a internet connection I can go to school.
