Reflection on the meta-analysis of teaching and learning

This was a bit heavy on the data than I usually read. But the work was done and for that I am grateful that I didn't have to do it. :)

I found from the reading that in classes where technology was used moderately (approximately 20% or more of the time), students were found to be more on task significantly more than in classes where technology wasn't used, or used infrequently. This wasn't much of a surprise to me however if a teacher finds a way to enhance the curriculum using technology, can that be measured in time using technology if the students are gaining an better understanding of the material?

There needs to be more research done on this topic and the meta-analysis even shows how this analysis can be effected by policymakers and the money spent on such studies. When researching these areas, recognition is needed to each individual school/classroom in which the research is done.
