Is technology effective?????

In other words, to ask if technology works is

almost the equivalent of saying "Do textbooks

work?" Yes, some textbooks "work," in someconditions, with some teachers, with some students,

but these same textbooks may not "work" in another

educational context. Clearly, the question of

technology effectiveness requires us to be clear in

what results we seek, how we measure success, and

how we define effectiveness.

(Fullerton, 1998)
