Education and Technology

the long version

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.
