The computer is a tool used in the acquisition of knowledge.  The focus of a computer literacy program involves the understanding of technology as a support system which is used to process information.  At each  school site, the sophistication and availability of the technological devices may vary widely. A study of the use of tech-nological resources is a relevant topic whether they are on site or available for use in the home, office, or public sector (library, etc.).
