Book Description
Impelled by a demand for increasing American strength in the new global economy, many educators, public officials, business leaders, and parents argue that school computers and Internet access will improve academic learning and prepare students for an information-based workplace. But just how valid is this argument? In Oversold and Underused, one of the most respected voices in American education argues that when teachers are not given a say in how the technology might reshape schools, computers are merely souped-up typewriters and classrooms continue to run much as they did a generation ago. In his studies of early childhood, high school, and university classrooms in Silicon Valley, Larry Cuban found that students and teachers use the new technologies far less in the classroom than they do at home, and that teachers who use computers for instruction do so infrequently and unimaginatively. Cuban points out that historical and organizational economic contexts influence how teachers use technical innovations. Computers can be useful when teachers sufficiently understand the technology themselves, believe it will enhance learning, and have the power to shape their own curricula. But these conditions can't be met without a broader and deeper commitment to public education beyond preparing workers. More attention, Cuban says, needs to be paid to the civic and social goals of schooling, goals that make the question of how many computers are in classrooms trivial.

Book Description
The use of computers in a wide range of educational contexts was studied. The philosophical and political environment in the United States is of great influence on the ways computers are used. In particular, many federally and state funded programs use computer managed learning (CML) and / or computer assisted instruction (CAI) in programs aimed at improving the basic skills of disadvantaged students. Lack of quality continues to be the major impediment to widespread adoption of computer assisted learning systems for other than basic skill development. Although the CAI programs appear to be successful when one measures the outcomes via standard achievement tests and analyses he results statistically, other factors may have contributed to the improved learning performance of students. Nevertheless, it is recommended that computer managed and computer learning systems be applied to some contexts in Australia. Many states and districts have introduced computer literacy as a mandatory curriculum requirement for all junior high schools. Generally, there is little use of computers across a wide range of curriculum areas, although some very fine examples were observed. It is becoming increasingly apparent that many research, academic and business activities which make use of computers should have their practices reflected in the school curriculum.
