Computer-assisted instruction refers to instruction or remediation presented on a computer. There are many educational computer programs available to help in a classroom setting our outside the classroom.
Computer programs are interactive so they can reach to a variety of learning styles through animation, sound, or demonstration. They can help students to progress at their own speed. Also, they can work individually or as a group. These variety of ways can reach a student in a different way from another student and be a great benefit!
Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) is a great way for teachers to assess students learning after instruction. CAI is "instruction delivered directly to learners by allowing them to interact with lessons programmed into the computer" (Smaldino, 369). Students are able to use CAI individually for additional practice after the initial teacher instruction. For example, teachers can use CAI after a multiplication instruction. The teacher can then allow the students to go to the computer and play a predesigned multiplication strategy game. This is great for students because they can advance at their own pace without feeling the pressure of their peers. For a teacher this is great, because if he/she notices a struggling student they can assist that student in a one-on-one setting. Many times in a regular math setting, struggling students often get left behind. However, utilizing CAI allows students with different learning abilities to master a skill before moving forward.

Computer-Assisted Instruction is instruction delivered directly to learners by allowing them to interact with lessons programmed into the computer system.
I believe that the interaction with the computer makes it a valuable experience for multiple learning styles and abilities. Computers allow students to progress at their own pace and choose which types of activities best help them learn.
Computer assisted instruction is implementing and using computer software for instructional and remedial purposes in the learning environment. This is benefecial especially to students with different learning abilities because it allows them to work at their instructional level. It also provides them with an opportunity to practice and reinforce different learning objectives and skills, including potential IEP goals.
Computer assisted-instruction is “instruction delivered directly to learners by allowing them to interact with lessons programmed into the computer system” (Smaldino, Lowther, & Russell, p. 369). Computer assisted-instruction benefits students with different learning abilities by providing opportunities to review and practice skills or knowledge taught in class at each student’s instructional level and pace.

Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is instruction delivered directly to learners by allowing them to interact with lessons programmed into the computer system (Smaldino, et al., 2008, p. 369). CAI can help students to learn specific skills. Students have different learning abilities. Therefore, some students may need to review or practice certain concepts taught during classroom instruction. The computer can serve as an easy-to-use device to reinforce that classroom instruction. Students may use drill-and-practice programs to help acquire the skills necessary to complete a certain task. Students can use CAI programs at their own pace until they feel they have the knowledge necessary to complete the task.

Computer assisted instruction is instruction on or through the computer. Computer interacted instruction is a great way to encourage and motivate students in their learning. One tool I use is Study Island it is a computer program that helps asses students either as pre or post assessment. It provides students of different learning abilities to grow and learn at their own pace. Other programs include drill and practice, like for math for students to learn the skills they need in a different way.

Computer-Assisted Instruction is using a computer program to do part or all of our role as teachers. CAI can provide students with tutorials on various subjects. It can offer extra practice for them in a new skill. It can also provide a means for assessing student knowledge.
CAI can be a great way to address learners who are not "average" in your classroom. It can provide an extra challenge to students who complete their work early. It can give extra help to students who are struggling to understand your explanation of a topic. It can help a student who has been absent get up to speed. The versatility of Computer-Assisted Instruction makes it a valuable tool for teachers.
Computer-Assisted instruction is instruction or remediation on a computer. These programs are interactive and can illustrate animation, sound and demonstrations for the visual learner. They allow students to progress at their own pace, work individually or problem solve in a group setting. Computers also provide immediate feedback, shows students how to correctly answer incorrect questions and can offer different types of activities for differentiation. This helps students with disabilities so they are not continuing to practice wrong skills. Computers are engaging and interactive. Computer-Assisted programs also provide differentiated lessons to challenge students who are at risk, average or gifted.
Our text book explores three techniques for integrating computers and multimedia into the classroom. 1) The instructor can use computers and multimedia to aid and facilitate student knowledge acquisition. The book recommended the use of a palm pilot or tablet computer to keep track of student progress and task completion (Smaldino, Lowther, & Russell, 2008). 2) The author also suggested using computer to create teaching aids/tools like handouts or power point presentations. 3) The last recommendation was to take the data and observations you collect and create spreadsheets or charts that could help define the areas of focus for the course. These three components create what the book refers to as “computer managed instruction” (Smaldino, Lowther, & Russell, 2008).
The nice part of CAI is it offers oppurtunities for all learners to learn! The differentiation in tasks, lessons, and styles makes it user friendly, and a fun experience all round!
Computer-Assisted Instruction is defined as “instruction delivered directly to learners by allowing them to interact with lessons programmed into the computer system” (Smaldino, Lowther, & Russell, 2008, p.369).
This benefits students with different learning abilities, since it acts as a knowledge *reinforcement* tool. Students who need review or practice, can use drill-and-practice programs to enhance their learning.
Since students can be at different levels regarding their need for reinforcement of ideas, CAI can be useful in differentiating instruction.

This interaction helps with different learning styles and abilities. Students can progress at their own pace, and have the option of working in groups or by themselves. This method can reach many different types of students in many different ways!
Computer-Assisted Instruction refers to computers being used as a way to help students learn using a computer to teach or reinforce a topic.
Computer-Assisted Instruction can reach a variety of students because students can be given assignments that match up with the ability levels and interests of each individual student. Computers alo help students see information in a different way instead of just on a chalkboard or book which may not be interesting to the student. -Sara
