Computer Literacy Program in Elementary School Children

Computer literacy is the knowledge and ability to use computers and technology efficiently. Computer literacy can also refer to the comfort level someone has with using computer programs and other applications that are associated with computers. Another valuable component of computer literacy knows how computers work and operate.

The advantages of having a computer literacy program to the elementary student are that they would know the basic things on how computer works and how to use it. It can help them arouse their basic computer skills and would be properly educated about computers. Through computer literacy they would discover lots of things by just using the internet. Also students may learn and gain lots of experience through it.

Disadvantages of having computer literacy program for the elementary students are that they may abuse the use of computers by playing computer games for many hours that could effect to lose their appetite. It would also make them a couch potato and its making them irresponsible.

It can be implemented here in the Philippines if the government would give attention to this and especially to the poor schools that could not afford to have a computer set. It would be a big help if young Filipinos would learn basics of computers because now jobs requires basic computer skills that can help to easily get jobs.
