This article explores some of the challenges that teachers face when they attempt to include computers in the teaching of subject matter.
Information is presented from a case study of a mathematics teacher's classroom practice.
Implications for the preparation of teachers in the use of computers are noted. The purpose of the study was to analyze the trends in computer literacy skills of university students during a 6-year period. Subjects were asked to rate their experience in the computer literacy skills of word processing, database, spreadsheet, hardware, operating system software, and use of the mouse. It was found that preservice teachers have little computer literacy experience. Students report less than basic familiarity with each of the critical computer literacy topics studied.
