Publisher's note

Co-Published with Apple Press


"A blueprint for those communities who are attempting change within existing educational structures. . . . Parents, teachers and school administrators, business and community leaders, and policy makers will find this book instructive. . .well worth reading."
--American Secondary Education


"Every education, business, and community leader who wants to cut through the hype about technology to see where the investment really makes a difference should start with this book."
--Alan November, CEO, Educational Renaissance Planners


To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) project, this book brings together a diverse group of educators to reflect on what we know about computer-aided instruction. From the latest research findings to practical classroom experience, it provides an overview of the promise and prospects for technology in education.

Education and Technology commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) Project. In 1985, Apple Computer, Inc., in partnership with a handful of far-flung school districts, launched ACOT to carry out long-term research and development on productive uses of technology in schools. From the outset, ACOT worked in real classrooms with real teachers and real students. The contributors to this volume, most of whom have had an association with ACOT, are veterans in studying and using technology in schools. While recognizing that technology is not a panacea for education's problems, they shed light on ways in which it can serve as a powerful catalyst for student learning.
