- Summary:
-
The program for City Technical Colleges (CTCs) draws on ideas and resources from government, private industry, and education to focus on the educational needs of inner city and urban children. Mathematics, science, and technology are at the center of the CTCs' mission, in a context which includes economic awareness and a commitment to enterprise and wealth creation. This discussion addresses the question of computer provision in the context of the need for children to learn skills in the technologies now central to their existence, and their need for sufficient access to relevant equipment through their learning experiences at school if they are to develop such skills. This paper presents a rationale for providing information technology (IT); a discussion of how subject areas in the National Curriculum, ranging from science to dance, can be enhanced by its use; suggestions for staffing and administering IT programs; and a discussion of issues concerned with system purchase, support, and maintenance. Suggestions are based on an analysis of needs, value for money, the nature of educational computing, parity between CTCs and the external world, and an attempt to predict the future direction of educational information technology. Two appendices provide an annotated list of sources of information and resources for curricular issues, the purchase and evaluation of equipment, satellite systems and remote sensing, issues relating to the management of information technology, MS-DOS educational software, and software for alternative computing platforms; and a glossary and explanation of terms.
