Plugged In and Turned On: Planning, Coordinating, and Managing Computer-Supported Instruction (1-off Series)

By Charles H. McCain

Written in a clear, non-technical style, this is a comprehensive guide to the effective use and management of computers in schools. The book describes a variety of classroom computing purposes; addresses strategies to ensure the security of the computer equipment and data; offers suggestions for policy development on the use of computers in education; and discusses the technical support required once computers have been installed, as well as the support necessary for teachers to use the computers and programs effectively.

The appendices provide valuable information on copyright laws that apply to computer software and job descriptions for various computer-related jobs in education.
