Computer use and availability in the average classroom has dramatically increased over the last thirty years. In the past three decades, a classroom teacher was lucky if one out-dated computer was available for use. Also during this time, a computer's main use in a classroom would be merely word-processing or a drill and practice method of instruction. Many improvements have been made in the quantity and quality of computers in the classroom. However, the overall lack of in-depth teacher training, the improper use of technology, and the incredible variation in the amount of technology available cause many problems.
