just found another study: http://www.pisaresconf09.org/user_uploads/files/context/room2/Kluttig_Peirano_Vergara.pdf Information and communication technology (ICT) and learning. Study for Chile. PISA Results 2006 Martha Kluttig Claudia Peirano Constanza Vergara There is a low, significant and positive effect of the use of computers at home regarding school achievement. Furthermore, the frequent use of the computer at home impacts positively learning in science. The relation between frequency of use and achievement hides a differentiated relation regarding to the type of task performed with the computer. We haven't found concluding evidence to establish that having more computers available at school has impact on the performance of the students. _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
