Can Technology Improve Student Achievement? (New web resource)

[Jan Bakker <bakker@NCREL.ORG>]

While technology "on its own" may not improve student achievement, research
is helping us understand how technology creates circumstances and
opportunities under which there is a positive effect on student
achievement.  Pathways to School Improvement's latest paper "Critical
Issue:  Using Technology to Improve Student Achievement" discusses advances
in measuring technology's impact and helps educators understand how to make
technology decisions that may improve student learning.   The Pathways
document is at:
http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/methods/technlgy/te800.htm

This latest document on the NCREL web site is based on a paper written by
Margaret Honey,  Katherine McMillan Culp, and Robert Spielvogel from the
Center for Children and Technology, a division of the Educational
Development Corporation.

Pathways to School Improvement provides ORIGINAL essays which review
research and provide practical action steps for schools.  Pathways has been
heralded as a real timesaver in making decisions about teaching and learning.
