Computers in the Schools: A Guide to Planning and Administration

From the Publisher This practical text provides all of the background, and the technical specifics, needed for planning and implementing technology in schools for administrative and instructional purposes. While principally focused on computer technology, material on such other technologies as video, data communications, and CD-ROMs is also provided. Individual chapters cover the five fundamental components of every computer application: hardware, software, staffing, facilities, and finances. Computers in the Schools provides a wealth of information on what actually works--and what doesn't--in a nontechnical, conversationally-written presentation as accessible to the novice as it is to the experienced computer user.
