a time when federal funding for education has substantially declined, the Computer Contribution Act of 1983, otherwise known as the Apple Bill, would provide for a liberalized tax deduction for donations of computers to elementary and secondary schools. Other bills would provide funds to train teachers to use computers, cancel federal loans to students who become teachers of computer technology (as well as teachers of math or science), and fund reviews of software. Congress has already increased appropriations for the National Science Foundation's precollege math and science teacher training program, and the secretary of education has directed a portion of his discretionary funds into educational technology. This paper addresses two issues: (1) what are the needs associated with computers in the schools and (2) what role should the federal government have in meeting those needs once they have been discerned
