Abstract: The advance of electronic technologies throughout the past century has encouraged corresponding interest in potential applications of these technologies in schools. Thomas Edison, for example, expressed a hope that invention of the motion picture might revolutionize schools (Saettler 1990). The motion picture did not revolutionize schools, nor did any of the other twentieth century technologies — radio, educational television, the audio and video recorder, etc. — that followed. The reasons for this are embedded both in the structure of schools and in the nature of the electronic media available. An understanding of both schools and electronic media is therefore needed to understand past limitations and future potential.
