• Teaching computer education without computers

    Teaching computer education without computers is like teaching music without instruments. It's not just difficult—it's deeply unfair to the students and to teachers like you who are doing your best.
    Students cannot build digital skills just by reading textbooks.
    Theory-only education in a practical subject like computer science is a major gap.
    And expecting performance without practice is setting students up for failure, especially when they compete with peers who have regular access to computers.

    Absolutely agree!
    Teaching computer education without access to actual computers is a major challenge it limits students' ability to gain hands-on experience, which is essential for building real digital skills. Just like you can't learn to play music without instruments, students can't truly grasp computer skills through theory alone. To bridge this gap, schools must prioritize providing at least basic digital tools or explore creative alternatives like shared devices, offline simulations, or community tech hubs. Every student deserves a fair chance to learn and thrive in today’s digital world.

  • @BEGUM0167087d15 Well said! Teaching computer education without computers creates a huge learning gap. Just like music needs instruments, computer education needs hands-on practice. Relying only on theory limits students’ skills and confidence. It’s unfair to expect strong performance without proper tools. To bridge this gap, we need low-cost digital access, practical demos, or even simulations—anything that brings learning closer to real experience.

  • @BEGUM0167087d15
    In today’s world, digital skills are no longer optional they’re essential. Yet in many classrooms, teachers are expected to teach computer science using only textbooks, chalkboards, or outdated hardware.

  • You're absolutely right—teaching computer education without access to computers creates a serious learning gap. Practical skills can't be developed through theory alone. Without hands-on experience, students are at a clear disadvantage, especially when compared to peers with better resources. It's essential to advocate for equal access to technology so all students have a fair chance to succeed in the digital age.

  • @BEGUM0167087d15 this is reality of our society even in this era where you can not ask any thing to kids without logic you can not give just instructions for any task while you are not providing accessories but we are teaching computer to students without computer it's so funny and imaginary by listening but it is very amazing to know there are few teachers who are teaching this subject by providing accessories by their own they allow students to use their devices either computer, laptop, mobile etc. because they know the realities and they are trying to beat the challenges by giving their 💯 and their spirit of to make change will work hopefully (insha'Allah)

  • Hi dear,
    I agreed with your perspective, however this is also a quality of a teacher to meet the needs of students with limited resources. we also fave technology shortage in our school but somehow managed to integrate technology in our classrooms. Your passion for teaching must be higher than any other hurdles.

  • Students understand concepts like file management, programming, or using software tools much better when they practice them directly.
    Regular hands-on practice helps students become comfortable with computers, reducing fear or hesitation in using technology.
