were not the countries that had students using technology the most often in their learning. In math, the top performances on the paper-based math exams were achieved by the students who had the very lowest use of computers in school learning
This is interesting to me because I had the same results as a student regarding math....It just seems to be something that is best learnt and tested with pencil and paper.
Supporting or scaffolding technology that creates opportunities for children deepen their learning through social use
How so? How can technology ever deepen learning through social use? This just seems a bit backwards to me!
where the technology may simply be replacing a traditional method of instruction
I think it is very important to remember this as an educator and parent. We have to be sure to maximize use and make it beneficial and worthwhile, not just replacing other instruction.
Studies are finding that the quality of work done with computers is much more important to determining student achievement than the quantity of time spent with devices
This is a bit of a controversial topic..I almost disagree but I am someone who personally wants to limit screen use in younger children and maximize it when necessary.
