Integrating educational technology to the core of the curriculum and using it as a method of teaching will definitely help children develop computer skills. Introducing periods of computer use in the learning schedule in a motivating and interesting way will also encourage students to master computer skills gradually.

This can be achieved best by creating tasks that are both educational and diverse, and , at the same time could be used by the students in practical, everyday settings, not just in the class room. 

This way the students will be interested in learning and will learn by default.

Schools are way behind when it comes to using technology in the classroom. Technology can be used for two main purposes: to create a class shell where all materials are organized, and using learning programs. Gaming is a huge phenomenon among young people, and even preschoolers can play on tablets, but school curriculum falls far behind the possibilities of modern technology. Online schools and computer curriculum have made advances in computer learning, but programs are rarely consistent across subject areas. Since students work best using a unit study or project approach, using the computer can help with research as well as communication and team-building as students learn to collaberate on projects. Better programs need to be developed that use the magic of graphics and interacive algorythms to take students on learning adventures that match the games they like to play. There is no reason why a new generation of IT developers couldn't design more creative, comprehensive online curriculum that is fun and interesting.

homework / self training / be uptodate... ==> some ways to develop compter skills!

Computers allow special education students to shine. When the computer reads aloud or depicts graphically what a student needs to do, it allows those who are slow readers or have other reading issues to do the same things at the same time as other students. 

 students should be using computers in school because many of the students already have computers at home and they need to learn how to utilize the technology as a tool instead of a toy. Many children are very familiar with the games on a computer, but they're not aware that it can be used to help with their learning and schoolwork.

Technology provides a variety of learning styles and input. so I believe all students can succeed on the computer.

In my opinion, the best way to develop such skills is to prepare interactive educational games for students to make them interested into computer skills.
