She states that as the whole world of communication and knowledge is transformed, it is unthinkable to leave out education. She argues that reformers should consider the popular support for new technology as a chance for positive change, instead of disapproving of the interest in computers. She discusses the history of the development of technology in education up until the 1990s. She outlines the concerns that critics have about computers in education. She describes the benefits that computers have in education and the opportunities that they present for educational reform, emphasizing that the challenge now is to progress from scattered initiatives to more comprehensive changes. Finally, she discusses the political options involved in choices about technology and the implications of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which turned the issue of schools receiving “affordable” access to telecommunications into a matter of policy. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
