Description
"Does classroom technology really prepare our children for the future? Do computers really help our children learn to read, write, or think? What do we lose when we strip funding from art, music, and physical education programs to help pay for new technology in our nation's schools?" "Drawing from hundreds of school visits, studies, and expert interviews, The Child and the Machine paints a picture of how our uncritical rush to use computers in schools has led to one of the most expensive and least helpful revolutions in the history of U.S. education."--Jacket.
