  This book aims to demonstrate the usefulness of classroom computers and to suggest how they can be used to aid teachers in fostering cognitive development. What are the goals that should be set for computer use? Should we think of classroom computers as we think of pencils, books and TV programmes, or as a tool with which to develop thinking? This book addresses these questions, reviewing educational practice from the perspective of cognitive development as well as offering an evaluation of software packages such as wordprocessing and Logo programs.
