Give them the tools...

Article Abstract:

More US public schools are now using advanced computer and video technologies as educational tools. Computers, interactive videodiscs and CD-ROMS provide children with the opportunity to learn at their own pace and style. However, these tools will only be effective if used innovatively and if classes are structured to meet students' needs. Further research and development along with proper teacher training are needed to maximize the benefits of technology for learning.
