Concerning the use of computers, my own $0.02 is that it has its uses
but, like any other educational tool, should be employed properly. There
are certain labs- the verification of the motion equations comes to mind-
which would be worthless, even impossible to do, without motion detectors
and spreadsheets. However, students should also experience analysis of
motion with ticker tape timers as well. The issue is not the value of
the tool- it surely has great value if used properly- but the teacher's
ability to integrate the technology into a meaningful, worthwhile
curriculum. <<Joe>>
