This report summarizes a working conference held at the Educational Technology Center in the Harvard University Graduate School of Education to explore the uses of educational technology in urban schools and offer recommendations for developing policies and programs. Participants included urban practitioners, researchers, professors, policy analysts, and representatives of community-based institutions, computer corporations, and corporate and private philanthropy. Presentations and discussions focused on such concerns as the need to insist on equity in the distribution of computer hardware and software to all schools; community and parent involvement in bringing computer programs to the urban schools; whether urban students need to be computer literate, particularly as this relates to obtaining employment; and the need to incorporate computers into vocational programs in order to give these students a broader educational experience. The conference emphasized that insistence on equity in the distribution of computer hardware and software to all schools is the first step toward excellence, and it is noted that teachers and administrators who believe in their students' potential to learn and in the use of computers as a tool for motivating and educating them, will be needed if these goals are to be reached. A list of conference participants is appended, and a 13-item bibliography is provided. (Author/EW)
