Computers have become part of our everyday lives. From the
             computerized chip in our vehicles to the check out lines at stores, we are
             dependent upon this type of technology in our world today. Relying on
             computers becomes more evident everyday, from filing taxes to communicating
             with family, friends and co-workers. This explosion of technology has
             increased efforts to equip every classroom with computers and provide
             Internet access to all students across the nation, and now the rage of
             handheld computers is reaching across the educational realm.
             Teachers and Administrators have been introduced to the technology by
             necessity. Professional training has been the focus in schools and
             districts, while some decide to pursue the technological world through
             obtaining a postgraduate education with an emphasis in educational
             technology. Teachers have found themselves introducing basic computer
             skills to students while also learning more from the students who already
             have the technology in their homes. With the addition of the computers in
             the classroom, one might ask if the equipment helps to improve academic
             performance of the students that are served.
             Computer integration into the classroom can make schools better and
             improve students' academic performance. Students are motivated to learn and
             remain on task, thus complete their work in school. Students enjoy working
             on the computers and their attention is spent concentrating more on the
             subject at hand, than daydreaming during a lecture (Peckham, 2000). Many
             studies confirm that kids say they're more interested in schoolwork when it
             involves computers (Setzer, 2000). Teacher training in technology can
             improve a school's culture, which also tends to lay the groundwork for
             improved test scores. Oppenheimer (1997) cites many popular reasons for
             computerizing the classrooms within the United States. He explains that
