Check out the very interesting recent article by Trip Gabriel and Matt Richtel in the New York Times, about the "report card" of technology in K12 education. When evaluating technology, are people asking the right question, "Does it work?" Would it be more useful to ask, "What is the proficiency objective?" before deciding how to assess any specific technology's effectiveness?

So - can textbooks or technology be evaluated based on student test scores alone? Read more at: http://qtalkpublishing.blogspot.com
