Students and Their Learning
- What are the impacts of the 1:1 initiative on measures of student achievement, broken out by age and by subject? And what are the impacts on the academic achievement of different student sub-groups (e.g., special education students)?
- What are the impacts on students’ 21st century skills, such as their fluency with information technology?
- What are the impacts on students’ engagement with school, their motivation and attendance? What are the impacts on students’ responsibility for their own learning?
- What are the impacts on students’ uses of the technology? For example, are students allowed to take their computers home? If so, how often do students (and which students) take the computers home, and how do they use them at home?
- Do students collaborate and construct knowledge in different ways when they use computing devices in a 1:1 environment? Does the availability of technology change what can be learned or when it can be learned?
- What types of representations of knowledge do students and teachers use when they make use of digital computing devices in specified ways (e.g., using specific software)?
