I have, of late, become fascinated by the as yet unexplored possibilities for
the use of computers in all levels of our education systems.  A book called
"Mindstorms" by Seymour Papert has been most influential in inspiring me to
seek out and digest as much information regarding computers in education as I
can.  I have not yet, however, found discussions on the net concerning such
topics as: the design and evaluation of educational software; the effects of
introducing computers into the schools on the social organization of
classrooms; "computer as teacher" vs. "computer as learning tool"; and the
availability of microcomputers to students.

I hope that someone out there will either offer me some opinions on the above
topics or direct me to a newsgroup where such discussions take place.
