Assessing Technology Programs and the Learning Accomplished in From Now On, Vol. 5, No. 4, December 1995, http://www.pacificrim.net/ ~mckenzie/dec95/simpletext.html. The impact of technology on education receives special attention at the K-12 level. The concerns raised there hold equally for the 13-16 teaching environment. Did anybody learn anything is an important question.

16. [15] Some would argue that these programs should be used only after students have mastered concepts in a more traditional fashion. For example, manual graphing should precede computer graph preparation at the college level. Interesting discussions on this can be found in the ChemConfer93 (Discussions-All) that followed Paper#6: http://www.inform.umd.edu:8080/ EdRes/Faculty Resources and Support/ ChemConference/Discussion.all.txt.
