Research now shows technology can boost learning when used effectively aligned with content and teaching principles, but schools have struggled to realize this potential at scale. The document examines past miscalculations and calls for focusing technology investments on solutions addressing critical challenges like improving adolescent literacy.
White Paper: Engage Every Student with Personalized LearningLenovo Business
Recent research has found that K-12 schools that have implemented personalized, technology-supported learning programs known as "1-to-1" programs are seeing improved student outcomes. These schools have lower dropout rates, fewer disciplinary issues, higher test scores, and long-term financial benefits. Studies from seven states show students in 1-to-1 programs have greater engagement, improved achievement, and teachers make better use of technology for instruction. However, proper implementation is critical for success, including factors like strong leadership, quality teacher training, and robust technology infrastructure.
This was presented in the "rapporteur session" of the international conference on Evaluation and accountability in education held in Rome, 3-5 October 2012.

This document summarizes research on the impact of a blended learning approach that combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning. A study was conducted involving 128 undergraduate students in Kuwait, with some taking a course using a blended model and others a traditional model. Students in the blended model group significantly outperformed those in the traditional group on projects, exams, online course participation, and attendance. Other research discussed found blended learning improved standardized test scores, communication/collaboration skills, and student motivation in the US. Additional studies showed blended learning helped reduce achievement gaps between urban and rural schools, and had a positive impact on student achievement in science classes in Australia.
PREPARING STUDENT TEACHERS TO TEACH WITH TECHNOLOGY: CASE STUDIES IN FINLAND ...IJITE
This quantitative study examines the training of student teachers for ICT-based teaching in two teacher education institution, in Israel and Finland. The data was collected in 2015-2017 using a questionnaire administered to 41 Finnish and 44 Israeli student teachers. The results show that most student teachers had practice in ICT-based teaching. However, about a third of student teachers in both institutions practiced only two times or less using ICT. Those who practiced mostly used a teacher-centred approach as did their college and school mentor teachers who integrated ICT in their lessons. The variable describing competency in ICT-based teaching correlated with student teachers' attitudes, the number of ICT-based lessons they taught, modelling by the school mentor teacher, and the various schools’ infrastructures and support. The results show that students in Israeli institutions are better prepared to teach with ICT which can be explained by the impact of the latest national reforms. We conclude that students' perception of their TPACK is the function of a variety of factors: on a personal level (attitudes towards the contribution of ICT to teaching and learning); on an institutional level (curriculum, modelling by faculty, institutional strategies); on a field practice school level (modelling by school mentors, infrastructure, pedagogical, technological, and administrative support); and on a national level (reforms and their implementation models). All these factors must be considered to promote the pedagogically innovative integration of ICT in teacher training and the overall education system. The best strategy to achieve this goal is to support collaboration between TEIs and schools on the national level. Wide-scale implementation of ICT in teaching demands significant investments in infrastructure and training. Hence much of its success depends on the national vision and priorities given to this purpose.

This document discusses the impact of technological changes on student affairs administration. It notes that while higher education has lagged in adopting technology compared to other sectors, external pressures and the need to compete are now compelling colleges to integrate more technological tools. This is transforming the traditional campus-based model of student affairs to a more learner-based model. The document outlines both benefits and potential downsides of increased technology use, such as less face-to-face interaction and a risk of creating a digital divide. It concludes by posing questions student affairs professionals must address to thoughtfully guide technological changes.
The document discusses the ongoing challenges of integrating technology meaningfully in K-12 classrooms. It outlines that while technology has changed how classrooms operate, teachers often struggle to use technology in ways that enhance learning. One of the biggest inhibitors is lack of time for teachers to learn technology and how to apply it to their curriculum. The document proposes using curriculum mapping to help teachers better understand what students need to learn, which could then help teachers integrate technology as a tool to support student inquiry and engagement.

Faculty attitudes towards integrating technology and innovationIJITE
Technological innovation is an important aspect of teaching and learning in the 21st century. This article
examines faculty attitudes toward technology use in the classroom at one regional public university in the
United States. Building on a faculty-led initiative to develop a Community of Practice for improving
education, this study used a mixed-method approach of a faculty-developed, electronic survey to assess this
topic. Findings from 72 faculty members revealed an overall positive stance toward technology in the
classroom and the average faculty member utilized about six technology tools in their courses. The
opportunities, barriers and future uses for technologies in the higher education classroom emerged from
the open-ended questions on the survey. One finding of particular concern is that faculty are fearful that
technology causes a loss of the humanistic perspective in education. The university is redesigning ten of its
most popular courses to increase flexibility, accessibility and student success.
STUDENTS E-READINESS IN INSTITUTIONS OF THE ROYAL COMMISSION IN JUBAILijait
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) provide a rich integrated educational environment, which capable of changing the lives of students. The purpose of this research paper is to investigating ereadiness of the students in the affiliate Institutions of the Royal Commission in Jubail, and whether their experience in using ICTs influences their judgement towards ICTs, and whether their judgement and experience toward ICTs influence their use of ICTs or not. Survey methodology is facilitated through the use of the questionnaires. Survey domain is a random sampling of studentsin Institutions of the Royal Commission of Jubail. With a 95% confidence level of a possible sample frame of 669, the study sampled 1032 respondents (15%). Results showed that students’judgement towards ICTs is highly positive, which reflect their e-readiness and willingness to use ICTs, but the analysis showed that the experience with ICTs did not significantly predict students’judgement about ICTs use. It was discovered that the following set of ICTs requires the most attention in the future adoption planning by the Royal Commission for its three affiliate Higher education institutions (HEIs): “Blackboard”, “smart devices”, “e-bulletin boards”, and “e-materials”. This set of ICTs receives the least scores of use and experience responses from study participants.The result of this study provides valuable insights into students’ e-readiness. This information may be used to develop and support factors that enhance strategies for adopting ICTs by students.

Case studies of three universities already piloting and deploying these collaborative solutions are also presented. The goal is to help higher education evolve to meet new demands while preserving its strengths through innovative uses of collaboration technologies.
1) The document discusses several challenges facing higher education in India, including a lack of trained faculty and quality research.
2) While technology has the potential to enhance education, many students and faculty do not fully understand how to utilize software like Microsoft Excel, limiting its benefits.
3) Other issues include low research quality and output, as measured by citations; a high rate of plagiarism; and underfunding of research and development relative to countries like China.
Creating the 21st century Unbounded UniversityMainstay
In collaboration with Cisco, Mainstay conducted a study of the Higher Education system, revealing common speed bumps in Higher Education, and crafting a guide to the evolution of the 21st century higher education system.
The document discusses the importance of effective technology integration in classrooms. It defines technology integration as using technology across the curriculum to make learning more active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and engaging. While placing computers in schools was once seen as preparing students for technology use, it is now understood that technology must be meaningfully integrated into classroom instruction and curriculum. For technology integration to be effective, teachers must receive proper training and use technology as a regular instructional tool to support learning goals. The document also discusses how today's digital students and 21st century skills demand changes to how teachers prepare students and how standards now incorporate technology.
This document discusses how information and communications technology (ICT) can act as a change agent for higher education. It outlines how the role of universities is changing to focus on developing 21st century skills in students. ICT is driving a paradigm shift from an instructional model to a learning model that is more student-centered. While ICT has potential benefits, its effective use requires organizational changes, investments in training, and addressing issues around access and support. ICT alone will not transform higher education - it must be integrated into an educational system focused on knowledge production rather than knowledge adoption.
Student teachers observed a variety of factors that influenced the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in schools during their placements. While welcoming ICT as a tool for modernizing teaching, students identified several hindering factors. These included a lack of resources and teacher skills/training, as well as difficulties integrating ICT into traditional curriculum settings. Students also felt ICT changed classroom relationships and the nature of learning and teaching. The article examines student teachers' perceptions of ICT in schools based on their reflections in an online forum.
The research paper discussed ICT impact on schools, through discussing its impact on teachers and students, and their general attitudes towards use of ICT in their classroom and as a medium of teaching and learning. The majority of the research indicated that the use of ICT was fruitful; its implementation raised the motivation of the students towards learning through breaking the conventional methods of teaching. Moreover, some of the studies showed that the student's rates of success, and that their participation improved, in addition to advancement in their computer skills and most importantly, their achievement. The use of ICT in schools is challenging and requires careful planning since the new generations have advanced skills in most of the new technological innovations, which threatens the educational process through using the ICT provided at schools for purposes beyond learning and teaching.
1. Cloud computing and mobile technologies are emerging technologies that will be adopted in the next year according to experts. Cloud computing allows schools universal access to information and applications at a low cost, while mobile devices are increasingly how people access the internet.
2. Game-based learning and open content learning are seen as technologies that will be adopted in schools in the next 2-3 years. Game-based learning engages students and fosters collaboration, while open content provides interactive learning materials to schools at low costs.
3. Learning analytics and personal learning networks are farther-term emerging technologies that will be adopted in schools in the next 4-5 years. Learning analytics uses data to improve teaching and learning, and personal
The document discusses the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education across several areas:
1) ICT has positively impacted learning processes and student achievement, though more rigorous research is still needed.
2) ICT integration has enhanced communication skills and allowed for asynchronous teaching approaches. It has also changed the role of teachers to more of mentors.
3) The interactive use of ICT between students, teachers, and parents has shown benefits to math learning outcomes for students. ICT also allows for teacher self-improvement through professional development opportunities.
1) The document analyzes research showing that carefully integrated technology can improve learning gains when used as an instructional tool.
2) At-risk students in particular benefit from technology integration as it allows more autonomous and interactive learning.
3) Multiple studies found improvements in student performance, attitudes, and motivation when technology was incorporated into writing and other skill-building exercises.
This document discusses the advantages of using information and communication technologies (ICT) in learning and teaching processes. It notes that ICT has a positive impact on student performance, especially in English, and that schools with higher ICT resources and maturity see greater improvements. ICT helps students with special needs, promotes teamwork, and increases student motivation. Teachers can also plan lessons more efficiently using ICT and enhance their teaching methods. The growing interest in ICT's educational benefits in the UK is driven by desires to accelerate learning pacing and improve teaching quality to achieve better student outcomes.

In order to keep pace with the changes we are seeing in schools, districts, and states on an almost daily basis, we are updating the NETP more often. Feedback from our stakeholders indicates that the previous five year update cycle was not frequent enough. In response, with this 2017 update, we commence a pattern of yearly, smaller scale updates to the NETP.
Recognizing that ICTs can, if applied and used appropriately, be development enablers is critical to countries that are moving towards information or knowledge-based societies, and is central to the IDI’s conceptual framework.
