<meta content="To dispel the delusion that the computer by itself can educate, the author believes computer professionals need to press for reforms that properly exploit digital technology in the classroom. He feels that the current computer-as-educator delusion is harmful and yet seems to go largely unquestioned, even by computing professionals. Despite the fact that good technical work is being done to develop course-ware, what seems to be missing is a full appreciation of the relationship between technology and education. Literature on the subject suggests that much of the work done by computing professionals is isolated from what generally goes on in schools. The computing profession's focus seems to be on how to find smart ways to use computers in the classroom, not on how to solve the really important problems deplored in the educational literature. The author claims that if the profession was doing all its educational computing work in close partnership with professional educators, more computing professionals would be pressing for the reforms needed to exploit digital technology properly. The primary responsibility for what happens in schools must remain with the professional educators. But educators need the support of the computing profession to ensure that they are fully and properly trained and supported in their use of computers." name="eprints.abstract" />

He feels that the current computer-as-educator delusion is harmful and yet seems to go largely unquestioned, even by computing professionals. Despite the fact that good technical work is being done to develop course-ware, what seems to be missing is a full appreciation of the relationship between technology and education. Literature on the subject suggests that much of the work done by computing professionals is isolated from what generally goes on in schools. The computing profession's focus seems to be on how to find smart ways to use computers in the classroom, not on how to solve the really important problems deplored in the educational literature. The author claims that if the profession was doing all its educational computing work in close partnership with professional educators, more computing professionals would be pressing for the reforms needed to exploit digital technology properly. The primary responsibility for what happens in schools must remain with the professional educators. But educators need the support of the computing profession to ensure that they are fully and properly trained and supported in their use of computers.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">This essay has been more formally published as Essay 3.1 of the author's book "Computers and People" (Wiley, 2006).
