I'm not sure why anyone thought that computers could aid in teaching traditional subjects. Computers can store and process data, simulate objects, crunch numbers. They cannot explain or evaluate. These are the root of teaching and they're beyond computers' abilities. My schools always had computers, and I never observed anything to suggest they aided in teaching. At best, they were labor-saving: More efficient than typewriters, more efficient than paper indices, more efficient than microfiche, etc.
