High Tech: High Touch--The Agony and Ecstasy of School District-Based Educational Improvement Effects.
Hathaway, Walter E.
Recent studies suggest the existing applications of high technology to the improvement of schooling are relatively ineffective. Their potential may be better realized when newer, more powerful technology is introduced and educators learn to make it succeed by sorting out the factors and aspects of effective schooling, learning, and teaching that are best fostered by technology and those best supported by humans. To do that, experiments must be designed, performed, and studied using both electronic (high tech) and human (high touch) means to deliver the effectiveness and productivity factors. Also required is collaboration by all members of the educational research community. Six references are listed. (DCS)
