In the history of education, the question of how computers were
introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely
neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The
contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a
historical perspective, by attending closely to the different
actors involved - such as politicians, computer manufacturers,
teachers, and students -, political rationales and ideologies, as
well as financial, political, or organizational structures and
relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and
economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the
priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of
introducing computers into education. However, the contributions
also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture
the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers
as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The
edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical
understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital
society.
