Preferred term

computer use in schools  

Definition

  • The use of computers by school students can be categorized according to five headings: computer-aided learning, information retrieval and processing, design and production, communication, and the study of the computer itself. All these uses can be subsumed, in a general way, under the heading “e-learning.” A general theme that runs through all use is the current convergence of computers as information processors and as the successors of older technologies of representation, such as photography, cinema, print, and radio.
