Computers in the classroom In recent years computers have become more useful to parents, teachers, and students because they have become faster and less expensive. Which is why computers can be found in most classrooms and can be useful to teachers and students. Many people feel that the time spent on computers could be spent on other things like one on one teaching or learning how to read and write. What people don't think about is how effective a computer could be to a child's education, and how computers can get students organized and willing to learn. In order to make computers more effective, teachers need to be trained on how to use computers, pick appropriate software, and get students involved in learning how to use the computer. For years computers have been used in the classroom to help in the overall education of students. Since computers help so much there needs to be a way to include the use of computers in a student's everyday life. In an essay by Tom Loveless he includes a report conducted by the U.S. Department of Education that states, "the proportion of schools reporting the use of at least one computer expanded dramatically in the 1980's, from about 30% of schools in 1982 to over 95% in 1988 (Why aren't computers, 2".) Loveless also includes a report conducted by OTA that states "in 1995, schools possessed an estimate 5.8 million computers, roughly 5.8 million computers roughly one for every nine students (2).

Very wonderful pagoda and nice view at Bagan

When we were there they were doing quite abit of restoration so we couldn't go up... it was a beautiful structure so next time Im in Bagan hopefully it will be finished.

Looks amazing but it's a prohibited area. Well, nothing lost, you can buy a painting from a "local guide" at seven taouzand.

Nice views from a few levels up the stupa as the sun goes down. You can no longer climb to the top (of the stupa - not the temple) but you can still go up to the gated fence & view from there. Just be careful as the steps are narrow!

Mingalar Zedi Pagoda or the "Blessing Stupa" was built in 1277 by King Narathihapati, taking 6 years to complete. It is the last of the large temples built in Bagan before Kublai Khan and his Mongol armies invaded the Kingdom.
