Use of the computer in conjunction with one or more computer networks outside the school has numerous benefits. Thus, as demonstrated by the popular National Geographic Kids Network, in which students conduct scientific experiments while gathering data useful to current research, "joint projects are possible between schools.... Likewise, students and teachers can immediately obtain information about their projects from a wide variety of sources" (Newman, 1994, p. 58).

Not only do technologies allow access to a broader range of instructional resources, but they also offer students the opportunity to learn to use electronic tools to access information and develop research skills using the technologies they will face in the future" (US Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, 1995, p. 59).
-
The new technologies can contribute in several ways to better learning in various subjects and to the development of various skills and attitudes. The nature and breadth of learning depends on previously acquired knowledge, and on the type of the learning activities using technology.

Student Motivation
-
New technologies manage to develop students' interest in learning activities,
-
Most students show greater spontaneous interest in a learning activity that uses a new technology than in the traditional approaches in class.
-
The attention span or concentration that the majority of students are willing to devote to learning activities is greater when they use a new technology than when they are in a traditional setting using traditional resources.
-
The use of new technologies promotes cooperation among students in the same class and among students or classes in different schools, near or far,
-
The potential for simulation, virtual manipulation, rapid merging of a wide variety of data, graphic representation and other functions provided by the new technologies contributes to a linkage of knowledge with various aspects of the person, thereby ensuring more thorough assimilation of the many things learned.
