It's all in the teaching style and what is to be presented. Provisions
should be made so that ALL students in a class can enter information into
the computer. (I still see teachers who have not overcome their fear of
working at a keyboard or with a mouse.) Students need time to develop
skills and overcome fears. If you only provide for group use of a
computer, you will guarantee that some students will never touch the
keyboard, or mouse. There are times that no one should use the computer;
after all it is just a tool. There are times to use a pen and times to
use a pencil ask any math or english teacher. Plan for all cases don't
limit students and other teachers in your planning.
Good Luck
