How Does Technology Influence Student Learning

Posted by Mike Corcoran on Tuesday, October 04, 2011 in Student Performance

In today's world, it would be hard to dispute whether or not technology has a positive impact on student learning. The jury is in, and technology probably has the single greatest impact on student learning aside from the teacher. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) published the study that follows.

According to its website, ISTE is the premier membership association for educators and education leaders engaged in improving learning and teaching by advancing the effective use of technology in PK-12 and teacher education.

ISTE represents more than 100,000 education leaders and emerging leaders throughout the world and informs its members regarding educational issues of national and global scope.

ISTE members include individuals, affiliate organizations, and corporations:

20,000+ individual members
80 affiliate organizations
89 individual member countries
6 affiliate regions worldwide
65 corporations worldwide

ISTE membership is a powerful and meaningful way for educators to connect with peers, to gather in a variety of forums to share the challenges and excitement of teaching, and to be part of a community that leads the transformation of education.
