Magic Without Wizards

Synopsis

Looks at a primary school where staff have accepted the computer into the classroom and made it an integral part of school life. In many schools the micro exists apart from the main business of teaching; sometimes it is remote because it occupies a special room. To break down this pattern the school featured has devised a set of criteria for using the micro: where it can benefit a class activity it is brought in, but not otherwise. There is no feeling that the micro should be used at all times.
