__**Article Name:**__ **Computers in the Classroom- Agents of Change**

__**Article Author:**__ Seymour Papert

__**Summary:**__ In the new book, //The Connected Family//, I develop the idea that the computers that will be the pivotal force for change will be those outside the control of schools and outside the schools' tendency to force new ideas into old ways. We are already beginning to hear stories about the influence in classrooms of children whose access to home computers and to a home learning culture has given them a high level not only of computer expertise but also of sophistication in seeking knowledge and standards in what constitutes a serious intellectual project. The number of these children will grow exponentially in the next few years. Their pressure on schools will become irresistible.
