The graphic design of this PDF-based article makes it hard to read, but it is well worth the effort as it describes the sort of education I think computers really make possible - real-world education, doing things real practitioners (in this case, biologists) do, even running into the same sort of problems (equipment doesn't work, data is collected badly). "By using simple and cheap devices – many of which they already have – pupils can do real science, answer real questions and think like real scientists. What a contrast to the artificial and sometimes contrived tasks that are only possible with pencil and-paper." Via Technology Enhanced Learning.
