needed to individualize the lesson tend to get included, thus often

To use the computer as tutor and tool can both improve and enrich
classroom learning, and neither requires student or teacher to learn

tutor nor tool mode confers upon the user much of the general
educational benefit associated with using the computer in the third
mode, as tutee.

software constructed from the narrow capabilities of computer
logic, the human tutor of the computer will learn something both
about how computers work and how his or her own thinking works.
Third, because no expensive predesigned tutor software is
necessary, no time is lost searching for such software and no money

the computer as tutee can shift the focus of education in the
