In “Combating the Osmosis Myth - A Realistic Approach to Staff Development and Educational Change (1992)” by Gary Stager, the author talks about “the osmosis effect”- where people expect that computers will somehow just improve education. He then goes into detail for how computers can change education and steps to them. What matters to me in this article is that school districts just expect the computers to just improve education when teacher take a two-hour workshop. Everything needs time to change, it doesn’t happen overnight. This is what matters to me in Gary Stager’s “Combating the Osmosis Myth - A Realistic Approach to Staff Development and Educational Change (1992)”.
