When The Wave Breaks - (Computers in Education in 1985) Bill Newcomen and David Ivers

This paper was co-authored by Bill Newcomen and David Ivers. It was published in Australian Science Mag, Issue 2, 1985 by Darling Downs Institute Press, Toowoomba. The paper was futuristic in its thinking and orientation, exploring the way forward for Computers in Education, as the 21st Century approached. The paper provides a 'Blue Print' for Computers in Education both then (1985) and as Education transitioned to the 21st Century. It anticipated that ICT (Information and Communications Technology) would be regarded as a required skill set in the future. It also anticipates that Programming or Coding would be something for Education to consider in the future.
