It may be a good time, after reading the <i>SF Chron</i> article (good
catch, Alice!) to revisit my unpublished piece from several years ago,
"Teachers and a New Educational Technology,"
<a href="http://www.umbachconsulting.com/discussion/CBT.html"
eudora="autourl">http://www.umbachconsulting.com/discussion/CBT.html</a>.
Perhaps still not completely obsolete, too, is <i>Learning Related
Outcomes of Computer Technology in K-12 Education</i>,
<a href="http://www.umbachconsulting.com/discussion/CBT.html"
eudora="autourl">http://www.umbachconsulting.com/discussion/CBT.html</a>.
The basic issues seem to have persisted from 1996-98 when I was studying
them. But I hope no one really sees computers as a panacea any more
than they see any other particular set of tools or resources as a
panacea.<br><br>
I would be interested in hearing from librarians and teachers who have
first-hand experience with using Web resources to support and expand
student learning in social studies, government, civics, and economics,
especially in the upper grades (say, 10-12). Any success stories
out there, especially with regard to exploring current public policy
issues? I am working on some articles on the topic, for
publication in a library journal, and hope to incorporate examples of
current experience.<br><br>
