Summary

The authors address perennial concerns about the use of computers in the classroom: How do teachers learn to use computers and what are their beliefs about instructional change? How does technology redefine student and teacher roles? How can student engagement be maintained and teacher isolation reduced? How can teachers manage the technology-rich classroom and what support can school principals, school districts, technology trainers, and colleagues provide for instructional change?
