The document summarizes a study that aimed to prove integrating technology into test preparation would improve scores of at-risk 9th grade students. The study group used laptops, handheld remotes, blogs, and other tech tools, while the comparison group used traditional methods. Over two years, the at-risk tech group passed state reading tests at higher rates than the on-level traditional group, with passage rates up to 96% vs. 93%. The teacher observed that behavioral problems disappeared when students used technology, and motivation, flexibility, feedback and teacher effectiveness all improved, leading to greater student success.
