She and other teachers were really surprised. The students were better able to argument because they had experienced how things really work. This was not an experiment, but it does suggest that tech is a powerful way to learn about relationships, predictions, truth and other important concepts, and teaches students to think for themselves better. Now this result was found at a secondary school for average and low scores on scholarly tests. The children with the lowest grades were the best debaters.

I have my own experience to tell me that tech along with project-based, problem-based approaches is valuable. In my opinion especially for “At-Risk” students, a strong field trip program along with the arts and physical education to build the schema so lacking otherwise should also be part of the curriculum. But, where is the support for that approach outside of those of us that have embraced it on our own? There has been for quite awhile research available that supports tech integration, but mainly in writing and a few other areas. Now comes a “study of studies,” that shows promise for tech as a valuable educational tool.
