Putting assignments online

I think it will not be so instant as if the teacher announces them or writes them out on the board. The students can immediately take note of them instead of going home to look at the website. The teacher can also save the time spent going to the staff room to post them on the website, and use it to attend to her other duties.

Computers may be getting cheaper but those families who are in the low-income category will not be able to afford even the cheaper prices. They can use second-hand computers or go to internet cafes, but the former may break down after a while and the latter are not so many in quantity now. Going to their friends' houses to use their computers may result in some of their friends' parents not being happy with it. The school may have a computer laboratory but there may be insufficient computers for the students to use.
