This study examines how a national model for integrating microcomputers into science teaching was implemented in rural school districts. The implementation of a national model for rural school districts required several adaptations. The organizational, procedural, community, and personal factors that led to those adaptations and influenced microcomputer usage in rural science teaching are discussed.
