Critical Issues in Evaluating the Effectiveness of Technology : Summary of the 1999 Secretary's Conference on Educational Technology.

An Educator's Guide to Evaluating The Use of Technology in Schools and Classrooms : Developed for the U.S. Department of Education by the American Institutes for Research, this guide is a tool for individuals who have little or no formal training in research or evaluation. Its intended informal style and accompanying worksheets provide the basic principles of evaluation and are designed to help district and school personnel gain an overview of and ideas for evaluating local technology initiatives. The guide is not meant to be the key to conducting a perfect evaluation. There is no such thing as a perfect program and no such thing as a perfect evaluation. Rather, the goal of this handbook is to provide educators a resource with which to jump into the evaluation process, learning as they go.

(May 2002) Cable in the Classroom-commissioned report by James Marshall PhD, a professor at San Diego State. It's called "Learning With Technology: Evidence that Technology Can, and Does, Support Learning".

2007 NMSA Research SummaryTechnology and Student Learning
In summary, technology has the potential to improve teaching and learning, but it depends heavily on teachers' purposes in using the technology, under which contexts they use it, and in which ways it is used.

2000 - In the last few days, the national news media have carried coverage of a new study regarding the use and effectiveness of technology in American Schools. The study comes from Educational Testing Service (ETS).

Demo of how this works

The study examines the following questions:

1. How much technology is in our schools and is it allocated fairly?
2. How are computers used in schools? Is access equitable?
3. How can teachers and technology be better connected?
4. What do we know about the educational impact of technology?
5. What is the quality of current courseware? Is it related to current educational standards?
6. What are the costs of deploying technology in our schools
