the computer can provide any amount of information in various ways, such as sound, text, graphics, and video. Apparently, due to high innovation nowadays, the internet can access global information resources that includes the latest news, weather forecast, sports and the like. We can therefore conclude that internet on Education can be a great source for kinds of Educational resources in the internet. It is not hard for the teacher to gather information for presentations because this is a useful tool for them to use.

Constructive tool- the computer itself can be used to deploy or organize data and presentations. We can manipulate information, visualize one's understanding, and build new knowledge. It allows users to present their ideas in attractive format.

Co-constructive tool- students can construct tools to work cooperatively and construct a shared understanding of new knowledge. One example of co-construction, is the use of electronic whiteboard where students may post notices to a shared document. students may also co-edit the same document from their homes.

Situating tool- By means of virtual reality (RS) extension systems, the computer can create 3-D images on display to give the user the feeling that are situated in virtual environment. Mud Object-oriented(MOOs), Multi-user shared hallucination(MUSHs) are the obvious examples of situating system.
