I liked the Lowther et. al article because the authors realized that there was not enough research going on that measured the performance differences between classrooms in which all students have a computer with classrooms that did not. I think that this article was more of a study than the others we have looked at, and while others have speculated about the effects of technology, these researchers sought to get authentic data to back up their claims. I liked that Lowther et. al. recognized "whether there are many or few computers at a school, the key factor influencing teaching and learning is how computers are used." This revelation reminded of Piro's observations in the Cuban article. Another thing that I saw this article touch on that we have discussed before is teacher technology usage. The article talks about how a lack of technology usage by teachers at home translates to a lack of technology usage for the students in the classroom. The article also touches on location and availability of computers. Of course, when teachers feel more comfortable with technology and the technology is available, it will likely benefit the students. We knew that, but this article delved into something that we only skimmed the surface of in recent weeks. I wondered about the teacher training. In the study, teachers in the all laptop classrooms were given extensive training. According to the study, students in the laptop classroom scored higher on several key areas than the students in the classroom without laptops. What might have happened in the laptop classroom if their teachers were sent in with only their prior technological experience? In my view, professional development for teachers rose on the list of how technology can be made more effective in the classroom.
