• The current summaries of studies indicate a
small positive effect with wide range of impact.
• It is not the technology alone that improves
learning, it is how it is used - the same factors
that make good teaching.
• iPads, computers, interactive whiteboards, alone
rarely make an impact.
• Student engagement does not always lead to
improved learning.
What is the evidence on technology?
Teaching is targeted at specific skills.
Technology is integrated into the curriculum.
Technology elements are combined with
non-technology elements.
Students must engage actively in some way.
Immediate feedback is provided to students
and teachers on students’ learning.
What features are effective?
Initial and ongoing professional development
is required – not just on using the technology.
Teachers need time to learn how to learn
how to use the new technology effectively.
A local facilitator or champion in the school is
identified.
What other features are effective?
