skilled in using computers themselves, where the school’s daily class schedule
permits allocating time for students to use computers as part of class assignments,
where enough equipment is available and convenient to permit computer activities to
flow seamlessly alongside other learning tasks and where the teacher’s personal

collaborative projects partly defined by student interest – computers are clearly
becoming a valuable and well functioning instructional tool
