This book is the result of the 1990 World Conference on Computers in Education. These conferences, held only once every five years, bring together computer educators from around the world to share their ideas, experiences, achievements and frustrations in this rapidly developing field. The papers are grouped into streams and mini-conferences, reflecting the logical organization of the conference. The streams include elementary, secondary, university, vocational education and training, research, and ``rainbow'' for papers that cut across the streams. The mini-conference sections address the use of computer based training in industry, new tools in the classroom, and computing in distance education.
