This 1999 article by Martin Owen includes a reflection on the REM Project


ABSTRACT

This paper discusses ways that shape attitudes to technology from a socio-cultural perspective. Differing attitudes are explored in relation to the cultures of education and ICT use in education. The role and development of the spreadsheet is taken as an example of a "cultural tool" and its relevance to education is questioned. A way of developing ICT embedded in a educational cultures by adopting interoperable standards for ICT in education is developed, with illustration from the European Commission funded project REM.
