Book Description
"(The authors) have made a fine contribution to the continuing debate over school reform and the role that technology plays in helping teachers use machines both appropriately and imaginatively. No reform-minded technophile . . . can ignore the important findings from the decade-long ACOT experience. . . . No skeptic . . . can ignore the solid evidence the authors provide of deep, lasting changes in teaching practices."
—From the Foreword by
Larry Cuban
"Extensive use of teachers’ own words and the longitudinal perspective give the book a rare degree of authenticity."
