参考答案:美国越来越多的教育工作者开始质疑在课堂上使用计算机究竟有多大好处。欧洲和亚洲的教育工作者正密切注视在美国进行的这场激烈辩论。他们欢迎技术进课堂,但也想从美国的错误中吸取教训。统计数字显示,26%的年龄从5岁到9岁的学龄儿童使用计算机。但是很少有人研究计算机对儿童的认知和情感发展会产生什么影响。我们担心的是,这是一种十分强大的技术,而它会产生什么影响我们还不了解。

A growing number of educators in the United States have begun to question just how beneficial computers are in the classroom. The debate raging in the United States is being closely watched by European and Asian educators who welcome technology but also want to learn from American mistakes. Statistics shows that 26 percent of American schoolchildren aged 5 to 9 years old use computers at school. Yet little research has been conducted to examine what impact computers have on children’s cognitive and emotional development. Our concern is that this is very powerful technology, the effects of which we don’t really know.
