\nI read the article Technology and Academic Achievement by Les Foltos. There has been a $5 billion\/year increase for the use of technology in classrooms. Parents and educators have questioned whether this increase of technology in the classroom is working. New evidence of published researchers shows that the technology can play a positive role in academic achievement. Several organizations have documneted that there has been a positive change on academic achievement in the classrooms. There are two studies that are researching the correlation between academic achievement and technology. One study concluded that for 4th and 8th graders technology has "positive benefits" on achievement as measured in NAEP's mathematics test. Clinton Administration noted there was too little research being conducted on the impact of technology in the classroom. Researchers are finding that it is difficult to isolate technology as a variable in good instruction, but they are finding that in the right circumstances, technology plays a positive role in enhancing academic achievement.

\nThe article I read was "Mutimedia Encourages New Learning Styles." This articel is about how technology has changed the way students learn. The most important change that I read in this article was the students can now can content on a subject from anywhere on the net rather than just their teacher. This is important because it shows different opnions on a ceratin subject rather than just the teacher's.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"28017603","body":"Technology has indeed changed the way students learn. I agree that it is important for students to be able to search different content on the web to find information on their subject to obtain different opinions.

I was surprised how much technology has changed in the classroom over the last several years. In my 40hr field observation, the school is very supportive of technology in the classroom and the teacher in the classroom I am observing, really knows how to use it. She uses the promethian (spelling), overhead projector, audio cd's. I was impressed at how technology in the classroom has allowed her to mix up her teaching styles and was able to involve all her students at one point or another during the day.","dateCreated":"1286918536","smartDate":"Oct 12, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"KatherineWanna","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/KatherineWanna","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]},{"id":"27983963","dateCreated":"1286247819","smartDate":"Oct 4, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"sokland","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/sokland","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1216352157\/sokland-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/educ300.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/27983963"},"dateDigested":1532768075,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Re: NCREL","description":"Practice","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
