Dead Ends on the Road to Computer Literacy.

Taffee, Stephen J.; Keogh, Andrew

Action in Teacher Education, v5 n4 p43-48 Win 1983-84

Impediments to progress toward computer literacy in teacher education include (1) equating "technological literacy" with computer literacy; (2) relinquishing control to computer scientists or to a few education faculty; (3) separating hardware and software decisions; (4) unbridled enthusiasm; and (5) inability to provide appropriate experience for learners.
