Week 12

5,000 students and 120 teachers from a broad range of schools participated in a study conducted by Dr. Marzano about the effects of technology in education. The study found that achievement is, on average, 16 percentage points higher in classrooms that use interactive learning technology than those that do not. It was two years long and consisted of half of the classrooms being equipped with a smart board, and half without. Those that integrated the smart board into the lesson were more successful than those classes that did not.
