Abstract
All schools in Singapore have computer facilities. Many teachers have received training in using computer technology. We believe teachers, heads of department, and principals make key decisions to integrate computer technology into schools. This paper will discuss some of the practical issues when computer technology is used in schools. The issues include those related to presentation, classroom management, physical layout of the computer facilities, and ergonomic concerns in using computer technology. With an understanding of these issues, educators will be able to integrate computer technology into schools in a more effective way.
