A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Universal access to tablets provides an opportunity to gather evidence
As students increasingly use technology in school, with many schools providing students with free digital devices, the opportunity has never been better to create innovative applications of technology and evaluate their impacts on student achievement, says Robert Slavin, Director of Johns Hopkins University's Center for Research and Reform in Education, in a recent blog post.
He notes that taking advantage of this opportunity requires a lot of work among developers, researchers, and experienced teachers to create digital approaches to academic subjects, which would then need to be rigorously evaluated and disseminated as appropriate.
Evidence-based technology programs could allow prepared lessons to be available to teachers. Students could engage in simulated activities or play games with embedded assessments that provide feedback on their progress to the teacher. Most importantly, ubiquitous technology can allow developers and teachers to incorporate specific strategies that had been studied and shown to be effective.
