Man of the year moves to suburban schools
Time magazine’s man of the year spotlight on computers spills into education as Glenview District 34 expands with 68 microcomputers and a central role for Micro-Ideas. Paula Silliman notes emphasis on computer literacy, teacher training, and usable software over drill programs. Matteson District 162 adds Apple IIe pilots and four new machines for admin and remedial reading. District 159 increases funds and staff to broaden access, with 120 students studying BASIC and plans to reach about one third of the student body next year.
