Schools with one-to-one computing programs have fewer discipline problems, lower dropout rates, and higher rates of college attendance than schools with a higher ratio of students to computers, according to the results of a new U.S. study. But for one-to-one programs to boost student achievement as well, they must be properly implemented, the study found. The findings come from Project RED (Revolutionizing Education), a national initiative that aims to prove that when properly implemented, investing in technology can boost student achievement and will result in monetary savings for schools and local governments. The study is believed to be the largest full-scale look at how technology is being used in schools, and what factors lead to the greatest success in education technology.The survey results will be revealed today at the annual International Society for Technology in Education conference.Source: eSchool News
