New Directions for Educational Technology. Recommendations of the Joint Committee on Educational Technology.
Connecticut State Board of Higher Education, Hartford.; Connecticut State Board of Education, Hartford.
This report presents joint committee recommendations for improving the delivery of instruction in Connecticut schools and colleges through the effective coordination and use of educational technology. These recommendations are based on a review of the current use of educational technology in the state and studies by three task forces, who examined computers and instruction, information retrieval and transfer, and instructional television. The recommendations address hardware and software needs as well as individual techniques and delivery systems needed to assure that technology can further the state's educational goals. Individual recommendations are presented in four categories--coordination, information, leadership, and training--and the use of technology is addressed as both a learning tool and a subject of study. The report includes a report on the status of technology in Connecticut and a list of the task force members, who included representatives of elementary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, business, industry, and the general public.
