Computer as Tutor, Tutee, and Mind Tool

As we all know that the computer becomes the core element in facilitating a lot of applications every where in our life. Banks, companies, universities, ministries, schools, etc. They depend on the computers in accomplishing all the tasks. Computers seem to be everywhere. Nowadays, we can not imagine our life without them. In the following paper I will discuss the modes of using computers in education according to what I have learned in teaching and learning ICT 2.  

First of all, the computer can be used as tutor, tutee, and mind tool in education. When the computer is used as a tutor. It gives the student the subject and waits for the response, and then the tutor evaluates the student response to go for the next task. In addition, when the computer is used as a tutee, the learner here taught the computer something by programming it. On the other hand, the computer is used as a tool, and here the computer is used in providing functionalities that can make the learner easier.
                                           
As a software engineer, I enjoy using a computer as a tutee. As a teacher I save effort, time and energy when I find an appropriate software as a tutor. As an individual I can not imagine the world without a computer as a tool!
