“Laptop use tied to higher test scores”
From the NCTE Inbox comes this Richmond Times-Dispatch article, “Study: Laptop use tied to higher student scores: About 14,550 Henrico County high schoolers are utilizing computers.” Yet another example of an article that I might include in English 516, though it seems you can throw a brick out a window and hit an article that comes up with whatever conclusion you want about the successes or failures of laptops in the schools programs.
Of course, if they’re using the lap-tops while taking the tests, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that they’re doing well.
