  • Courtney Richardson Evidence and Statements

    "Without technology, we would not be able to partake in this online class. The evolution of technology has revolutionized the way we learn. A classroom can now be brought to life at home. Comprehending subject matter that's difficult to understand just by looking at it, can now be understood by tutorials on Youtube, or 'how-to' columns. Technology is a way of expressing ourselves creatively perhaps without even having to speak. Without technology, the things that could possibly take many of us weeks to understand, is what is now at our fingertips at an instant."- Courtney Richardson

    • "We know that successful technology-rich schools generate impressive results for students, including improved achievement; higher test scores; improved student attitude, enthusiasm, and engagement; richer classroom content; and improved student retention and job placement rates.
    • Of the hundreds of studies that show positive benefits from the use of technology, two are worth noting for their comprehensiveness. The first, a U.S. Department of Education-funded study of nine technology-rich schools, concluded that the use of technology resulted in educational gains for all students regardless of age, race, parental income, or other characteristics. [GET THIS] The second, a 10-year study supported by Apple Computer, Inc., concluded that student provided with technology-rich learning environments ‘continued to perform well on standardized tests but were also developing a variety of competencies not usually measured. Students explored and represented information dynamically and in many forms; became socially aware and more confident; communicated effectively about complex processes; became independent learners and self-starters; knew their areas of expertise and shared that expertise spontaneously.’"

  • Britney Lawrence Evidence and Statements

    "Technology has become an indispensible tool to research, reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Many studies support technology as a necessary literacy tool that enables students to be more successful academically and professionally. Research is proving that even texting and tweeting is improving the literacy skills of students. All ages can and are benefiting from a technology-rich classroom and society and the literacy of our students is improving because of it."- Britney Lawrence
