International schools seem to be using technology in the classroom in very similar way of that of the United States. They use it to aid in the education of students and to help teachers stays organized and manage their time. However I did see a few differences.

First, International schools seem to be using computers as a direct way of teaching. Many students take their classes online and communicate with students all over the world. They also use the internet to communicate with parents and guardians.
