| Abstract: | The results of a study of elementary and secondary school usage of microcomputers for one southern state are reported. In addition to summarizing the availability of hardware, software, and personnel resources, evidence is presented to suggest that various sub-groups of students, particularly the “regular” classroom student and the socioeconomically disadvantaged, are severely limited in their access to computer technology, and that access, when afforded, is restricted to drill and practice applications. School-, district-, and state-level recommendations are provided to address these inequities. |
