Trends in Education Reform
THE SUCCESSFUL PROLIFERATION of computers in K-12 classrooms across the country is due partially to recent associations between education technology and school reform. For more than a decade now, reformers at the state and local levels have attempted to revolutionize the way schools operate and students learn with a variety of top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top changes in administration, curriculum and outreach.
