Frequently Asked Questions
"If computers are viewed as learning tools, who should decide where they should be placed and how many? The short answer is teachers, the gatekeepers to learning. Until they decide how, where, and under what conditions computers are allocated, student use of classroom technologies will be occasional and marginal. Only teachers can integrate the use of computers with the subject matter and skills that they are expected to teach and upon which students are tested." Larry Cuban, 1997
