معمل الحاسب الالي 2.0

The educational journey of our students in computer science spans several years, beginning in school and continuing through university. During this time, they have access to computer labs equipped with necessary technologies, curricula for computer studies, and specialized educators. Despite these resources, many students struggle to master computer skills and fail to engage with technology as effectively as expected. This leads to additional investments of time and money as they seek to learn anew.

This situation is concerning, particularly in light of Vision 2030 of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which envisions a progressive future for our nation. The discrepancies between the current skill levels of our youth and the aspirations outlined in this vision are stark.

It is this reality that motivated me to author this book, the first of its kind, aimed at providing a framework that may assist my fellow educators. It serves as a gateway to a brighter future and a key to achieving significant success.

This e-book covers the following topics:

• Utilizing computers in education: benefits, modes, and challenges
• The development of computer labs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: a historical perspective
• Computer lab usage: specifications and components
• Practical training in computer labs: management and organization techniques
• Maintenance of computer labs
