Abstract

As a new medium enters the educational scene, there is a great deal of initial interest and much enthusiasm about the effects it is likely to have on instructional practices. However, enthusiasm and interest eventually fade, and an examination reveals that the medium has had a minimal impact on such practices.  During the last decade, the use of the Internet and personal computer in the classrooms at all levels has become very common as the speed of the Internet increased and the processing power of the PC climbed. The question is whether the recent development and classroom adoption of computer technology will affect the education in an effective way from which the past technological innovations have.
