14.A woman shows us that it's never too late to get your degree.Johnson,a 79-year-old grandmother,is graduating from the University of Maryland University College(UMUC) with a bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management.Her journey towards her college degree actually began back in 1962when she attended Morgan State University in Baltimore.She went there for 2 years,but put her studies on hold to start a family with her husband James.They ended up having three sons together-all of them college graduates."After they graduated from college,my oldest son decided to give me a computer,"Johnson said."Well,it's time for me to go back and get my degree."
After finishing her job in the government in 2009,she was admitted to the University of Maryland University College in their online program.Her thought to return to school came after seeing her friends and old classmates at Morgan State."They stayed there and completed their course there and that encouraged me,"Johnson said."I said I want to go back and do the same thing."
There were some problems Johnson had to deal with in her new path in life.She would not be able to transfer the credits(转学分) she earned from Morgan State over to UMUC.Even though she was given a computer,she was not good at it.But that did not stop her from reaching her goal.
For anyone else who wanted to go back to college after long absence,Johnson would encourage it."You might need a teacher at times,"she said."I think it's a very good idea.That's what you want to do.That's what I wanted to do."What's next for this grandmother?She's not quite sure.However,UMUC has advised her to get her master's degree.

5.Computers completely rule the life of an average student in any corner of the world in the form of hand-held devices,or printed textbooks (thanks to the use of computers in printing).What follows are some instances of the use of computers in education.
Without computers,learning would be restricted within the walls of institutions.Knowledge and education are being empowered,and the best way to make them accessible to everyone is through computers.Working professionals,stay-at-home parents,senior citizens,even curious minds benefit from online education.E-Learning is accessible and people can afford it.
We all know how learning about the depth of the Mariana Trench in geography class can be a little boring for young children.However,by introducing the audio-visual method of learning,computers have made education interesting.As communication systems enhance,education will change for the better-computers will make our children more curious,because they know that the answers to their questions are at hand.
The Internet is now what once used to be the library.What's more,it is easier to access,along with being a convenient and fairly reliable source of information.
Computers have more or less eliminated paperwork in the administration section of education.Thanks to websites,we can do away with printing brochures,application forms,admission and other administrative documents,resulting in procedures that are cost-effective and environment-friendly.
Unfortunately,computer technology has also brought about easier means for students to cheat on their homework.Since most homework is typed,teachers cannot rely on comparing different forms of handwriting.In addition,students can merely copy work from the Internet.So students should make good use of computers and teacher and parents should monitor and educate them too.
Anyway,there is no questioning over the impact of computers in education; their usage has completely revolutionized the way education is received,communicated and processed.In the years to come,more changes are expected; changes that will further refine the field of education.
