I assume we are all in agreement that instruments alone are at
best distractions. Larry Cuban's book on technologies and how they
DONT change things remains a good statement of that principle. But
the question remains: under what conditions can cmputers and computer
network become instruments for the re-mediation of activity in
classrooms?
There are positive instances. But what progress has been made since
the mid 1980's? And, given our particular take, how are classroom
cultures implicated in the successful cases?
