Yet?"
A brief excerpt from this interesting article:
Schools Still Face Challenges in Using Technology To Improve Student Achievement
School leaders today are under increasing public pressure to improve student
achievement. Standards, assessments, and accountability measures are in place in
school districts across the nation, and the recent sweeping reauthorization of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act promises to "leave no child behind."
The findings in this survey are based on telephone interviews with technology
decision makers
in 811 school districts, including 90 of the largest 100 districts (more than
25,000 students), 398 medium-sized districts (2,500 to 24,999 students) and 323
small districts (up to 2,499 students). To read the complete article, click on
