| Present school curricula are defined by print technology, which makes
learning primarily dependent upon the mastery of written language. Consequently, students success is dependent
on their ability in reading and writing as determined by pencil and paper tests. Educational theory has introduced alternatives to
this model, shifting the emphasis from one mode of learning to multiple ways of learning. These theories have led to the development of
computer-based programs and hardware that can change the fundamental paradigm of school
from a place to learn primarily through books, worksheets, and tests to one more adaptive
to different individual learning styles. The
content areas below are based on these computer-technologies and tools that I have
used in case studies in classrooms during my graduate studies as well as in computer clubs
and summer programs in public schools. Other recently developed computer-based
learning tools are included in a list of links to resources for
computer-enabled learning.
