Computer tools can help both teachers and students. Teachers can use tools like word processors to create lessons, spreadsheets to track grades, and presentation software to deliver lectures. Students can use these same tools to write papers, analyze data, and create reports. While computer tools provide benefits over traditional tools, teachers need to ensure students focus on content over just formatting or visuals. Overall, computer tools can enhance the teaching and learning process when used appropriately.

- 14. There are 2 basic types: Bitmapped, Vector Bitmapped (or raster): each pixel directly maps, or corresponds to, a portion of the image. The computer must keep track of position and color information for each pixel. #become jagged looking when scaled to larger size Vector (or draw): the computer remember the steps involved in drawing a particular graphic image. This information is independent of a particular screen location or a graphics size. #vector can be scaled without any loss of quality.
- 15. FEATURES OF GRAPHICS TOOLS Creative Arts : permit you to produce original artwork or modify existing artwork. There are variety of stimulate tools intended to mimic what an artist use (pencil, paintbrush, color palette, eraser etc.). You can select and control colors, and fill shapes with colors and/or patterns, and let you apply special effects (blurring, textures, and the illusion of embossing). Packages e.g.: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe illustrator, Corel draw, Painter etc.
- 16. Business and scientific graphics : a program accept data, from within the program or from another source (spread sheet Microsoft excel), and produce a chart or a graph . Business graphics include bar chart, pie chart, line graph etc. Scientific focus on line graphs as well as trigonometric and other mathematical functions. Packages e.g.: Cricket graph, graphical analysis, Microsoft graph etc.

- 40. PROBLEMS AND PITFALLS Students may emphasize form over substance. When use prepared templates, can make almost any content look good. First, construct presentations using a blank template or in outline mode to discourage them from focusing on the flashy elements of the package. After creating the content, students then can focus on adding visual appeal. Caution students to avoid overdoing available effects when adding visual elements. Good design principles still apply. Teacher who presentation software, sometimes fall into the trap of wanting to turn everything into a presentation. It is best to take a variety of approaches when trying to reach different learners and help them stay actively involved.
