Whether schools and teachers are ready to embrace it is a different issue. Those who have chosen to integrate it into their curriculum of study are not always doing so with much prior planning. It seems as if many children do more learning about technology outside of the school's boundary or at least the school's physical walls. Many students are now able to access educational centers through distance learning and on-line facilities.
Virtual communities are thus able to be formed.
All these issues and many more are raised in this Winter '97 issue of the CPSR newsletter. The world at our finger tips. LEEPing into Distance Education. The sense and nonsense of wired schools. The social microcosm of the classroom.
