technology tools, they were more likely to be
authentically engaged in a lesson.”
-International Journal of Instruction (2014)
“Students in classrooms using mobile learning devices
scored higher on standardized assessments.”
-The Journal of Applied Technology (2014)
“Failure to integrate technology effectively into educational environments was likely to cause students
to get disengaged from the class”
