This article looks at how the Denver School of Science and Technology (DSST) has used laptops as a tool to optimize student and teacher learning, improvement, and desire to achieve educational goals. Zucker details not only what were effective to both students and teachers, but also the "proof" that this system is only effective if other supporting factors that encourage a strong educational system take place as well.
Why did students at DSST like the one-to-one laptop program?
Many students were in support of this program because it positively influenced their learning, studying, and analysis of the material they learned. It also provided fast feedback and exam scores, which helps both the student and teacher on many levels. For the long term, it encourages students to use educational technology as a tool in advancing education and life learning.
How can the assessments from the DSST program help me to incorporate educational technology in my classroom?
The program that DSST used helped in assessments by giving the students not only faster feedback, but an opportunity to incorporate interactive learning. I can benefit from this in my classroom by using similar techniques such as anonymously editing other students work to learn from.
