The survey data unpacks the teaching strategies and will contribute to discriminating the teacher and student efficacies. I'm not intending to prove that the tools have the most impact, simply to find out how much if any. Most research would suggest the teacher has the most impact (or the student themselves). Thanks again :-)Simon Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542215690605568332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647967264121564608.post-90444717715054278352011-07-01T19:20:24.487+10:002011-07-01T19:20:24.487+10:00Hi Simon,

The variables in a 1:1 program are wide ranging and multi-layered - for example, the teaching strategies employed can maximize the use of the technology to enhance creativity or the teacher may only require the most simplistic use - data entry or word processing. I would like to think that it is the teacher that makes the most impact, not the tools being used. Great teachers with great tools should have the greatest impact of all.Mrs Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146065181438935336noreply@blogger.com
