Whereas the preceding topic area dealt with attitudes towards computers, this
area addresses teachers’ actual use of computers with students. This includes
using computers to teach subject matter, to support class lessons, and to teach
software skills. Recent data indicate that teachers are using computers more
frequently with students due to improved student-to-computer ratios and to an
increase in access to the Internet (Anderson & Ronnkvist, 1999; NCES, 2003).
