This document summarizes two evaluation studies related to educational technology. Study 1 evaluated an action learning program through interviews, group interviews, comparing participants and stakeholders, and meetings with providers. The study aimed to collect and interpret data effectively to understand changes and ensure appropriate participation. Study 2 evaluated the implementation of interactive whiteboards in a school using questionnaires. Teachers found the technology presented information well but required large space and light control. Setup and learning took time initially but teachers felt confident within 5-10 minutes.
