I know that 'educators' will say that using computers frees
the students from the drudgery and lets them concentrate on
thinking and analysis. uh huh.
It does work, if you spend significant time teaching the students how to
think and analyze and draw conclusions, and emphasize the importance of this
by giving praise and even high grades for good thinking and analysis. I find
that at the high school non-honors level, this takes a significant amount of
time, because the students simply have little or no practice in thinking
critically or analyzing data ...
