Quick observation about John Coe's comment - “sometimes the computer is closer to the child than the teacher by the age of 13.” If true, that's more an indictment of teachers and parents than technology. We all need to realize that caring teachers using technology have an advantage over caring teachers without technology. http://historytech.wordpress.com/2009/12/02/digital-means-analog-analog-means-digital/ glennw Thomas,

Does frequent blogging, texting and facebook updating translate to good test and assignment results? Are the confident students as good as they think they are? I hope the study addresses this question. I plan to track it down and read it for my self.
