I would worry more about a study that showed that technology did improve test scores. That might lead to progressive teachers buying into the notion that test scores actually measure important learning objectives!

I like John Witter’s comment above.

My mission is to use technology to educate my students enough about the real world, not focusing on the tests, so that they will become senators and representatives and get rid of the test…

I, too, was disheartened by the study. I knew from the word go what it was about, and, unfortunately, I think it’s going to be used to justify cutting technology funding. I wrote to my folks in congress today to ask them to continue supporting technology in education, specifically referencing the flaws in that study. Maybe if enough of us write and point out the flaws, they’ll take a hard look at their “easy” study and try something a bit more in depth.

But at least you didn’t catch “copulitis” from the Seniors!
