ACOT+Studies

“What happens when computers become a significant resource in classrooms? How does a critical mass of technology affect the way teachers teach and learners learn?” These were the questions that were raised when the ACOT project began. For more than a decade, researchers, practitioners, and technology developers have been able to work together to increase our understanding of what can happen in classrooms when powerful technology and effective instruction are joined. The lessons learned provide a rich foundation of experience and knowledge to guide current investments in technology at the local, state, and national level. —Linda G.
