"It's a great pity that education hasn't actually changed a bit in the intervening time. Computers are pretty much just used for teaching computers, as electronic typewriters and libraries, and to cut down on admin. They really are not used as learning aids, as 'simulated learning environments' or anything similar." I have to disagree with that. In my wife's second grade class the kids have electronic voting controls at their desk and a giant touch screen hangs on the front "chalk" board where kids can interact with various group learning applications.
