| Abstract | The impact of advanced technology has increased computer usage at all levels as evidenced by the popularity of video games, increased interest on the part of students using computers to enhance learning, and business/school partnerships forming with such companies as Digital Equipment Corporation, International Business Machines, and Tandy/Radio Shack. Educators are now in a position to develop and implement programs and enter a new age of educational responsibility and decision-making. The U.S. Department of Education is interested in the role computer technology plays in education and has provided block grants via the Educational Consolidation and Improvement Act (ECIA), which have been used to purchase books and computer equipment. Teacher computer literacy is one area that needs further development, and to assist in alleviating this problem, the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) has distributed funds for programs directly related to improvement in this area. Other educational projects monitored by OERI include Project Quill, which uses microcomputers to help teachers teach writing; the development of a mathematics and reading curriculum and methodology to improve learning for elementary students, handicapped, gifted, and culturally diverse children; and the establishment of the National Diffusion Network (NDN), which provides funding for the dissemination of information about exemplary programs using technology in science and math. Individual "lighthouse projects" identified by NDN use computer-assisted instruction to improve basic skills for compensatory education, teach secondary math courses, provide occupational education, and/or utilize computers for records management and prescriptive instruction.
