The Three Cs: Children, Computers, and Communication

We are moving into a new era - the information age. To cope with the wealth of information we need a new education system - a new pedagogy. The development of the microcomputer presages the first genuine revolution in education in over a century. The three R's - reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic - will be replaced by the three C's - children, computers and communication. Computer-assisted learning will mature into computer-based education. This book explores the implications of the above. Designed for non-technical audiences, it emphasizes the use of computers in teaching literacy and life skills, rather than using computers specifically in teaching mathematics and science. The book also provi des practical advice to teachers, administrators and parents.
