The reforms for teacher preparation often include calls for increased content and more in-depth instruction in the use of computers. The exact nature of com puter literacy for teachers is still being debated. But the development of rudi mentary programming skills during pre service and inservice programs would appear to have substantial personal, educational, and professional benefits for teachers. Singletary argues for the inclusion of programming skills as part of the effort to reform the teacher educa tion curriculum.
