  • Among the findings, the report showed that in high-need schools, there's been a 31 percent increase in the "innovative use of technology by teachers in core subject areas." What's more, in these schools, the report found significant increases in reading and math achievement (17 percent to 33 percent in reading and 18 percent to 36 percent in math).
  • In fact, states are focusing heavily on core subjects in their EETT competitive grant programs. Twenty-three states programs focus on math; 18 focus on science; 22 focus on reading; and 20 focus on writing.
  • The report also saw a 14-point increase in graduation rates, from 66 percent to 80 percent.

    Technology can foster an increase in the quantity and quality of students' thinking and writing. Productivity tools such as databases, spreadsheets, computer-assisted design, graphics programs and multimedia authoring programs (programs for creating computer-based presentations or lessons) allow students to independently organize, analyze, interpret, develop, and evaluate their own work. Several features of word processors seem to reduce the phobia often associated with writing and enable high school graduates to be proficient at accessing, evaluating, and communicating information. Educational technologies can, by design, provoke students to raise searching questions, enter debates, formulate opinions, engage in problem solving and critical thinking, and test their views of reality.
