Applications
As adults, depending on our circumstances, we need to apply computer
applications. Even so, we might not realize how important
computers are and will be to our students. The students that we
are preparing for adulthood will be encountering computer applications
that have not yet been created. For this reason, it is important
that students have opportunities to solve problems and do projects now
in preparation for the future. Let's take a look at examples of
