This volume is the product of a year-long research project by a group of students at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, Austin. It is exhaustively researched, with twelve pages of references augmented by personal interviews, and with a thorough background review of the literature. It discusses in detail two effective computer-integrated programs: Comprehensive Competencies Program and IBM's Writing to Read program. Of particular interest is the use of computers in distance learning, given the rural nature of many of Texas's communities. The document advocates using technology to individualize instruction, and discusses the changes and challenges such a restructuring will produce. This reader suspects that the authors did not go into the project with any revolutionizing theories, but, rather, that they came to their conclusion as a result of their research. They examine how several other states have encouraged and financed technology use in the schools, and how Texas could pay for the far- reaching technological changes they advocate.
