What Research is Saying

Increasing the use of technology and integrating technology into the curriculum are two drums that are constantly being beaten.

Why? Research by Cradler and James (1996) shows that technology is related to increases in student performance when interactivity and instructional design are present. They further state that, "Teacher preparation, follow-up staff development and technical assistance are critical prerequisites for effective technology application. Planned integration of technology in education that directly involves teachers consistently allows teachers to engage students in meaningful educational experiences and allows more time for individualized instructional opportunities."
