Abstract
This poster presentation will examine the effectiveness of computers/technology in schools. More specifically, we will look at the schools within the Madison County district. Interviews will be conducted with teachers to find out the many ways they are now using computers/technology as an extension of learning. Also, Mike Caudill, superintendent of the school system, and Chuck Bryant, Director of Technology for Madison County School System, will be interviewed to get more insight as to what direction technology will take in the education of Madison County students in the future. The results of this research will be compared with the opinion of experts such as Frederick Bennett who proposes productive ways to use computers in education in his book Computers as Tutors: Solving the Crisis in Education.
