Computers Quote by Jane E. Pollock
““We tend to think that if a student is using a computer as part of an activity, then it’s automatically a good activity. After all, they’re using technology! But when we look at the results of that time spent at the computer, we really should be asking ourselves, how did this use of technology improve student learning?””
