This article states that....
*There is no clear evidence that computer use improves learning.
* Teachers are not using computers to full potential.
* Providing more computers to schools will not automatically result in the advancement of computer practices by teachers and students.
For the promotion and advancement of computers in schools Cuban believes there needs to be:
* Technological support for teachers.
* Professional development which is on-going
* Software needs to be suitable for an educational setting.
He states that no matter how much funding is invested, it will only begin to be successful if major changes take place in general attitudes and practices. Cuban believes that the money invested in the last decade in computer technology in schools has not proved to be overly worthwhile.
