Data were collected from 403 elementary and 270 secondary students from the experimental school board and also from 330 students in the control school board. In addition, questionnaire data were collected from 60 elementary school teachers and 51 secondary school teachers . Finally, interviews were conducted with 72 students and 20 teachers . Potentially the most interesting finding was the difference in achievement scores between the experimental and control boards . Secondary students from the experimental board had higher scores on the CAT 3 reading test and indicated making six times more frequent use of computer technology in their English classes,  \nsuggesting a possible treatment effect. In contrast, math scores were higher at the control board where neither board indicated high levels of computer use . Nevertheless, these findings must be interpreted with some caution until the threats to validity of selection bias are more clearly overcome .  \nRé sumé : L’investigation en cours était un examen de la première anné ed’un projet pl uriannuel qui visait à offri r un ordinateur portable à tous les élèves de la 3 e à la 11 e anné e d’une commission scolaire anglophone du Québec . Les donné es ont ét é recueillies auprè s de 403 élèves del’élémentaire et de 270 élèves du secondaire de la commission scolaire expé ri mentale ainsi qu’auprè s de 330 élèves de la commission scolairet é moin. En plus, on a recueilli des donné es tiré es de questionnaires remis à  \n60 enseignants de l’élémentaire et à 51 enseignants du secondaire . Enfin, des entrevues ont ét é mené es avec 72 élèves et 20 enseignants . La conclusion la p lus inté ressante s ’avè re peut être la différence entre les ré sultats de ré ussite entre les commissions scolaires expé ri mentale ett é moin. Les étudiants du secondaire de la commission scolaire expé ri mentale ont o btenu de meilleurs ré sultats pour les tests de lecture CAT 3 (formation en matière d’applications informatiques) et ils ont indiqué utiliser six fois pl us souvent la technologie informatique dans leur cours d’anglais, la issant croire que le traitement a peut être eu des ré percussions .  \nPar a illeurs, les ré sultats en mathématiques étaient supé rieurs à la commission scolaire t é moi n alors qu’aucune commission n’a indiqué destaux d’utilisation élevé s de l’ordinateur. N é anmoins, ces conclusions doivent être interprét é es avec discernement jusqu’à ce qu’on gè re mieux les menaces à l’é gard de la validit é du bia is de s élection.  \nUbiquitous Technology Integration in Canadian Public Schools: Year One Study 1  \nEnthusi","cbCaie8t2xDoIPK0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie8t2xDoIPK0","pdf",441489,24,"English","# Ubiquitous Technology Integration in Canadian Public Schools - Year One Study\n## Abstract\n## Technology integration and student achievement","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s main purpose for Year One?\",\"answer\":\"To explore the first year of a multi-year project providing laptop computers to Grade 3 to Grade 11 students in an English school board in Quebec.\"},{\"question\":\"What data sources were used in the investigation?\",\"answer\":\"Achievement data came from 403 elementary and 270 secondary students in the experimental board, and 330 students in the control board.
