As microcomputers in special education classrooms become increasingly common, teachers are faced with having to make decisions about when, under what conditions, and with whom to use microcomputers. This is particularly true when teachers are considering the use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) with students expected to learn essential skills. In this article the microcomputer is presented as an important but currently limited piece of instructional technology. Guidelines for deciding when and how CAI should be used are offered with an emphasis on the teacher's role as decision maker and instructional manager.

This study examines the general patterns of computer use and response to computer-assisted instruction by 701 older adults aged forty-five to seventy, in three major metropolitan areas. Findings support the expectation that older people can be enthusiastic computer users irrespective of education or other socio-economic variables. The results raise interesting questions about the negative bias which may be introduced by classroom instructors as mediators of instructional technology.
