A study released in September by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development looked at school tech
initiatives in more than three dozen countries (although not the
United States) and found that while students who use computers
moderately show modest gains over those who rarely do, heavy
technology use has a negative impact. "Students who use
computers very frequently at school do a lot worse in most
learning outcomes, even after accounting for social background
and student demographics," the report concluded.
