To summarize, cluster analyses of various instructional decisions and tasks employed by 'effective' microcomputer-using teachers revealed four characteristic patterns of use: 'orchestration, ' 'enrichment', 'adjunct instruction, ' and 'drill and practice.' 'Orchestrators' are distinguished by their multiplicity of uses and degree of integration between microcomputer use and ongoing instruction. 'Enrichers' appear to encourage student familiarity with the microcomputer within a less ambitious instructional program. 'Adjunct instroctors' appear to use the microcomputer selectively to enhance conceptual mastery within the subject matter. 'Drillers' seem to provide students with an extensive program of drill and practice on the microcomputer to enhance mastery of procedures.
