Description
Summary:
The mission of the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory is to effect educational renewal through the development, testing, and implementation of innovative curriculums, strategies, and techniques. One of the Laboratory's four major programs--the Computer Technology Program--seeks to promote the Laboratory's mission by developing materials for teachers, administrators, and students. The program is based upon the beliefs that computers are a permanent and significant part of modern society and that it will take an informed citizenry to deal effectively with them, and with their social impact. Wherever possible, the Laboratory-developed materials adhere to the principle of teaching about computers by teaching with computers, thus giving the learner direct experience with the phenomenon being studied.
