Matthew DanielDespite widespread technology use in schools an abundance of free and easily accessed information, gen-y has shown decreasing literacy and writing skills, and poorer results on standardized tests, particularly with historical info and facts.
Author doesn't not argue, but notes improvements have been made where teachers were trained to integrate technology into instruction.-
Students cannot “create prose that is precise, engaging, and coherent,” it said, which means that “they cannot write well enough to meet the demands they face in higher education and the emerging work environment.” Indeed, other reports by the Commission estimated that poor workplace writing costs corporate America $3.1 billion per year and state governments $250 million per year.

n 2004, economists at the University of Munich analyzed international test scores (including the U.S.) and determined, “computer availability at home shows a strong statistically negative relationship to math and reading performance, and computer availability at school is unrelated to performance.” (Emphasis added.)

The percentage of those in the state reaching proficiency on the state test went from 29.1% to 41.4%, an astonishing gain. In the intervening years, too, every Maine middle-schooler was given a laptop, and teachers were trained to integrate technology into their instruction. Hence, the Globe headline: “Middle school laptop program leads to writing improvements.”

In May 2007, the New York Times reported on a trend in schools and
districts to eliminate digital learning, for instance, a Richmond, VA, high
school that dropped a 5-year-old laptop program “after concluding that students
had failed to show any academic gains compared with those in schools without
laptops.” -
Finally, and in apparent contrast, an October 2007 story in the Boston Globe
reported on a study by the Maine Education Policy Research Institute that found
writing scores for 8th Graders leapt upwards from 2000 to 2005. The percentage
of those in the state reaching proficiency on the state test went from 29.1% to
41.4%, an astonishing gain. In the intervening years, too, every Maine
middle-schooler was given a laptop, and teachers

Social, economic and cultural factors will continue to play a powerful role in determining outcomes, as the Coleman Report made clear. But we cannot wait until inequities are corrected before taking action with the tools at hand.

Still, in spite of these underwhelming numbers, pro-tech advocacy continues. The disappointing results come years after the initial launch, and so people forget the promises put forward about how technology would transform learning. But with school budgets tight and student writing in critical condition, we need more accountability in the initiatives and more hard skepticism about learning benefits. And we need a lot less fervor for tools and screens that have only existed for a few years and whose human consequences are yet to be determined.
