In my visits to schools, I don't find children who are ill at ease behind a computer screen. I do find lots of kids who cannot read analytically, who do not read books, who cannot write legibly, who cannot assemble a 250-word essay. But I do not see many kids who can't use a computer. Children have too much exposure to electronic messages. If I ask a student to tell me about Huckleberry Finn, I want that student to read the book.
Computers provide kids with information.
They don't help them learn. Before computers, we used Cliffs Notes. I got mine honestly. I didn't use Cliffs Notes. Computers cannot provide experiences.
