Definition

  • Computers have proven to be immensely useful tools for educators and students, and they are now considered to be an essential component of primary and secondary education in the United States. However, the computerization of schools has raised a number of pressing issues: unequal access to machines and resources, the commercialization of school curricula, teachers' responses to computing, and a whole host of other pedagogical issues.
