Tami BrassStudy: Laptop Learning Improving
Increased use of technology proving to be quite beneficial in Henrico classrooms.-
Two years into a comprehensive three-year study of the laptop initiative in Henrico County Public Schools, findings show that students are engaging in more technology-based problem solving, research, teamwork and communication-based projects that reflect 21st century learning skills
-
His initial second-year findings showed that students who used their laptops more than their classmates had higher test scores in history, biology, reading and chemistry but lower scores in writing and algebra I and II.
-
students already were using graphing calculators and may have suffered while transitioning to laptops
-
Following the first year of the study, which examined data from the 2005-06 school year, Mann's findings showed that the implementation of 21st century learning skills in the county's high school classrooms was "notably absent."
-
Our challenge needs to be, 'How do we continue to learn and get better as we do this?'"
