Do you go to a online school? Or a school that uses computers to teach students?

I've been out of the public school system and higher education system for years, but I'm pretty sure anyone educated in the U.S.A. (at the very least) can answer yes to having attended a school that uses computers in some capacity to teach students... even if it was only to teach basic (and, yes, BASIC) programming or typing as was the case when I was in elementary/middle and high school.

I attended physical classes for my degree (though a few were telepresence type classes where the professor would split his/her time between our campus and another one across town.) I've also done some online, distance learning post-graduation -- not for credits or higher degrees, just for personal enrichment.

I should've been more specific -- the programming stuff didn't occur until high school for me, and it was part of a self-directed type course with an instructor/mentor.

Yes, through a grant program called CFF (Classrooms For the Future) our school has laptops in almost everyone room & Activboards (smart boards), although a lot of the teachers don't use the technology as much as I like, they still use it often.

Yes they do use computers now. I am a current college student. Although I am majoring in computer networking (multi-platform) I often see teachers using power point presentations, showing short videos related to the subject or getting the latest data form the internet in class (even outside of computer classes).

The college I go to has a projector in every classroom and either a separate computer or a station where any teacher can connect their own laptop.

My college provided me the computer classes that gives us the proper training for the career that you are looking for. That's how I got my Bachelors of Science in that. Later, I went to a different place where computers are there and they teach us to use these computers for certifications. That's how I got my certification there. But if you go online, then you won't able to learn as fast and you won't able to get your hands dirty while you are in a lab.

In almost every school in the UK you can find at least one computer in the classroom and most schools have interactive whiteboards in every classroom. Many schools now give out online homework instead of paper homework.
