Computers into Classrooms

First published in 1993, Computers into Classrooms critically examines computers and their uses in teaching and learning. It sets out to raise fundamental questions concerning the nature of ‘technological literacy’, a hitherto vague term. The authors set out to provide a series of guidelines for teachers employing, or about to employ, computers in their classrooms. Many of the issues raised have yet to be adequately researched, and teachers are alerted to the dangers and shortcomings of too easy a reliance on these machines. This book is the last in a trilogy, which includes Understanding Technology in Education and Technological Literacy and the Curriculum.
