Oversold and Underused: Computers in the Classroom
Abstract
"Computers have been oversold and underused, at least for now," claims Larry Cuban (2001, p. 179) in his most recent study on computers in classrooms. This book offers a compelling look at how computers are being utilized in the educational environment and engages readers to ponder how teaching and learning have changed since many institutions have jumped on the technological bandwagon. Cuban's work, which is essentially free of technical jargon and presented in the form of case studies, takes readers on a journey into several classrooms and enables them to become acquainted with the teachers. Three questions drive Cuban's work:

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
