The Mad Dash To Compute.
Healy, Jane M.
School Administrator, v56 n4 p6-10 Apr 1999
Discusses trade-offs and ramifications of technology use in schools. Cutbacks in proven staples of mental development (arts, music, drama, and physical education) are used to finance technology programs. Youngsters often use educational software for mindless fun. Few advocates consider how extended computer usage affects children's developing bodies and brains. (MLH)
