Improving Learning with Information Technology: Report of a Workshop

---

Handheld computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs) were launched in the marketplace in 1996. Within 18 months, these handheld devices had swept through the business community and virtually trans- formed the way people took notes and kept professional and personal cal- endars. Today, PDAs can connect to the Internet and provide a variety of services, from scouting out restaurants in the vicinity to using the global positioning system (GPS) and enabling enterprise-wide knowledge man- agement systems. This is but one example of the power of technology on a grand scale, transforming how people work and play. Why hasn’t technology, be it hardware or software, had the same trans- formative effect on K-12 education? The National Research Council’s (NRC) project on Improving Learning with Information Technology (ILIT) was created to confront this question and ultimately to enable the transformation of K-12 education through information technology. It will accomplish these goals by bringing together representatives of the K-12 education, IT industry, and learning sciences communities to roadmap the improvement of K-12 education through information technology.
