Computers in Classrooms: Essential Learning Tool… Or Program for Disaster?
Alison Dickie
Jennifer was only seven when she started pestering her parents for a computer of her own. Her Grade 2 teacher had told her to ask her parents for one because all but three of the other children in her class were using home computers to complete their school projects. Jennifer’s teacher believed that it was important for students to become comfortable with this technology and the sooner the better.
