Yesterdays' Economic Journal arrived. It included
a large study on computers in the classroom. The writers examined
massive trial in Israel. Lottery funding allowed a huge spend on
computers in the classroom - providing opportunity to find out if there
was any learning benefit.

After some pretty impressive looking research on a massive sample the
conclusion - absolutely no improvement in learning at all....

Food for thought!
