West High School in Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A., is the original model for the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow project, which has been running since 1985 to test the impact of computing in a variety of teaching environments. Each year 120 of the school’s 1,200 students go to special ACOT classes where top teaching and learning methods are linked to the world’s best information technology. And the proof is in the eating.

Of the remainder of the school roll only 15 percent graduate and go on to college, while 30 percent drop out early. Of the ACOT students, 90 percent go on to college, and the drop out rate is nil.

DAVID C. DWYER. Education & Technology. Published by Jossey-Bass publishers, San Francisco, and Apple Press, to summarize the first decade of ACOT. Dr. Dwyer, who directed ACOT’s research and managed the program for much of that decade, is one of the book’s editors.
