Multitasking is not something our brains can do while learning, and technology often represents not just one more “task” to have to attend to in a learning environment, but multiple additional tasks

This is a very broad statement when speaking in terms of "hundreds of students" or "multiple schools" in comparison to the students or schools that don't include technology in the systems. My though process would be to consider if indeed technology improved academic outcomes, does that mean did it hurt with out?

In multiple, large-scale studies where technology has been incorporated into the learning experiences of hundreds of students across multiple schools and school systems, they have been associated with better academic outcomes than comparable classrooms that did not include technology.
