Understanding the Educational Implications of Component Software and the World Wide WebWhat kind of software best supports mathematics and science instruction in K12 education? In recent years a number of people and projects have advocated "component computing" in which developers produce a library of "mix and match" components that can easily be assembled into software for learning. Advocates claim that assembling software in this way is less expensive, faster, more adaptible (perhaps even teachers may do some of the "mixing and matching"), and of higher quality. This project examines the theory and practice of component computing, most particularly from the perspective of teachers in the classroom.
