I couldn't agree more with your findings regarding the research about the test score increases that occur when technology is utilized. I just wish more educators could get a chance to take an educational technology class like you're doing or have a chance to read some of the articles that talk of the benefits of technology tools and then share this information with their peers. Once teachers take a step to offer the technology tools to their students, they will be able to experience the difference that educational technology tools can make in the lives of their students.

A lot of kids today have computers in their home that they use everyday for a variety of reasons, it only makes sense to use them as part of their education and also partly explains why they can learn more effectively using them.
