According to the Metiri Group’s report, Technology in Schools - What the Research Says (2006), “Researchers find that extracting the full learning return from a technology investment requires much more than the mere introduction of technology with software and web resources aligned with the curriculum. It requires the triangulation of content, sound principles of learning and high-quality teaching - all of which must be aligned with assessment and accountability.”
