A new study from the University of Calgary says computer technology can help students learn, as long as it’s coupled with engaged teaching. Researchers at the University of Calgary have some encouraging words for parents concerned that their children are glued to computer screens. Michele Jacobsen and Sharon Friesen of the university’s faculty of education just completed a research study at Calgary Science School in which students were provided with laptops and then observed over a three-year period. Their results indicate computer technology can dramatically improve the way students learn — but only if coupled with engaged teaching.
