The Revised Project Description

If you look at the revised project descriptions from past years (they are included on the project pages) you will see that different teams have structured them differently, some with more and some with less detail. But here are some kinds of information that you should consider making clear in the revised project descriptions:

Two Clarifications

Israel Scheffler's "Computers at School?" (1986 )

  1. The Illusion of Givenness
  2. Distinguishing Means from Ends
  3. The Uses of Computers at School
  4. The Notion of Information in Educational Thought

We'll spend most of the session focused on Kate Bell's questions.
