Chapter 4 - Application

This chapter looks at the application of computers in school and in education. It reiterates the idea that computers found their way into schools without a clear rationale. It looks at what the ‘desirable’ application of computers in school could look like and draws out the factors necessary in order for this to take place. These factors are key to understanding why curriculum change with computers has been slow. Some thoughts on the future development of ICT are given.
