A study conducted at Stephens Institute of Technology found that high-school
students retained math skills longer after using commercially available
mathematics software than did students in a control group receiving
traditional classroom instruction.
how does commercially avaliable software help ? but i think we've used this at wellesley before, last year in my math class we used a website were we had to solve problems, so it was basically like the computer was teaching us, not the teacher himself
"Children who don't do anything in class will work if it's on the computer,
this is actually so true, i personally love doing work on the computer, but it also creates huge distractions, (facebook)

Educational Testing Service study discovered that math teachers
who used computers could significantly boost fourth and eighth graders'
standardized math scores, and a study of 53 elementary, middle, and
high schools found that providing cutting-edge technology improves teachers'
morale
isn't this a problem? why are computers creating a "boost" in test scores & not because of the teachers helping them?
The cost of including technology in our school curriculum is high. There
is no doubt there. Many people wonder, however, what the long-term cost

Perhaps the most common reason that teens' private information is exposed is because they are easily tricked into accepting friend requests from strangers

Four years ago it was rare to learn of a child under 7th grade with an account. Last fall, for the first time, 4th graders began reporting to us that they had Facebook accounts. We now estimate that about 60 - 70% of 7th graders have accounts and the number is higher for 8th graders. These children are too young to be using Facebook or other adult social networks for the reasons detailed below.
i feel like i text ten times more then this , but honestly it is becoming a problem , teens depend SO much on texting and cellphones in general , what if we didn't even have cell phones to use?
who say it is leading to anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades, repetitive stress injury and sleep deprivation.
but if technology makes something like staying in touch very, very easy, that’s harder to do; now you have adolescents who are texting their mothers 15 times a day, asking things like, ‘Should I get the red shoes or the blue shoes?’ ”
