Summary 1
Sivin-Kachela and Bialo found that students in "technology-rich environments" experienced positive effects on achievement in all major subject areas. Both studies found more positive attitudes toward learning among students using technology.
Summary 2
Wenglinsky found that technology has an impact on student performance in math and science, but only when it is tied to high-quality professional development, and when it encourages higher-order thinking skills.
Summary 3
Schacter cited evidence that technology use is "less effective or ineffective when the learning objectives are unclear and the focus of technology use is diffuse."
