Abstract
Although U.S. public schools now possess 5.8 million computers, roughly one for every nine students, they are not widely used in classroom instruction. Industry leaders have neglected teachers' central role in instruction and have grossly oversimplified schools' complexities. Computers will become more commonplace when they are used to make teachers' current work easier, not to redefine teaching. (MLH)
