From Now On Educational Technology Journal
FNO From Now On The Educational Technology Journal
Vol 7|No6|March|1998 From an educational perspective - "The computers belong where they will do the most good, not
sequestered in a back corner." There is no "correct" way to organize technology within a classroom since different
learning and teaching styles will be better served by a variety of configurations. The most important issue is the involvement of teachers in deciding where the equipment will best support student learning after they have visited classrooms with a good deal of equipment so they can see the consequences of each design."
