So I would say the issue is there, but it really boils down to approp=
riate
uses of technology. You can get superb results with research based
curricula and by using research based pedagogy, but just sticking a c=
omputer
onto every desk will do NOTHING. Computers certainly allow students =
to crib
papers better and make the product much more readable. They are also=
an
absolute necessity for dyslexic students who need the spell checkers.=
They
also allow students who have fine motor control problems to perform a=
s well
as normal students.
Most people's opinions are just that, but there is a body of research=
into
the topic, and OP ED pieces seldom look at the research.
