Summary

Effective technology implementation in schools leads to significantly higher student achievement and saves money. That is a bold statement but one with the backing of Project RED, a national survey of several thousand schools that sought to find out what makes technology integration work. Project RED has concluded that properly implemented educational technology, especially 1-to-l programs where technology is continuously accessible, substantially improves student achievement and can be revenue positive at the local, state, and federal levels. Transformational change-doubling student performance while reducing costs-is possible, and Revolutionizing Education through Technology is your blueprint for How it is done.
