Are computing and technology important?

Computing is important as students use technology all the time.

Use of technology such as IPads are good for record keeping/ documenting lesson progress, such as picturing science experiments.

Important to develop future skills which will be needed for future careers, such as use of spread sheets, publishers and other word documents.

Issues are the lack of funding schools have to access technology in order to deliver a sufficient computing curriculum.
