We also had to read an article about using technology in the classroom where there wasn't any evidence that the students did well.
I beleive the 4 main reasons that the project described did not work is because
1. Teachers were not trained properly.
2. They did not use interactive tools found on the internet.
3. Teachers used computer for drill and practice.
4. Teachers did not use anything new. They uploaded all of their old materials and just used the computers because they had to. They didn't put any new thought into new projects or new ways to use the computers to get their students further ahead then they were with out them.
Two strategies that could have been used so that the project did work would be
1. Teachers would be trained on how to use the internet to their advantage.
2. Teachers would use the computers to differentiate the work given to each student. The students who can learn more faster, would be allowed to have projects and interactive tools to get them to their maximum ability and students who need more practice in order to understand would also be given that opportunity.
