Physical plant raises questions of how technology is brought into the school.
Once the technology has entered the school, there is immediate impact upon classroom dynamics. Inevitably, new technologies impact the school-wide hierarchies of instruction. These groups then serve the school as a vital in-house resource to instruct not only other students,but also their teachers, on technologies that in most cases were not available to the teachers during their own training. The unceasing advances in computer technology creates an unprecedented resource group - the students themselves. It is impossible to demand that teachers continually reacquaint themselves to technologies that are already passe by the time they are brought into the school.
