The Computer in Education: Myth and Reality.

Grinstein, Louise S.; Yarmish, Rina J.

Educational Horizons, v59 n4 p158-64 Sum 1981

To explode seven common myths about computers in the classroom, the authors explore some of the limitations and strengths of computers in education. They conclude that the computer should not be shunned as a "bogeyman" but should be used as an aid in achieving the overall goals of education. (Author/SJL)
