Scope and Contents

The document discusses the development and implementation of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) among the Pueblo people in New Mexico, starting in 1970. The project was initiated by the National Science Foundation and involved the collaboration of Dr. Sophie Aberle, Professor Patrick Suppes, and the governors of the Pueblos. The program aimed to improve education for Indian children through technology and grassroots participation. The success of the project led to plans to expand CAI to all 19 Pueblos. Governor Juan Abeita of Isleta Pueblo expressed gratitude for the funding and highlighted the enthusiasm of the children for the new technology. The initiative demonstrated the importance of local involvement in addressing educational challenges.
