Learning by Laptop.

Stevenson, Ken

School Administrator, v56 n4 p18-21 Apr 1999

About 250 of the Beaufort County, South Carolina school district's 1,200 sixth graders at three middle schools have participated in the School-Book Laptop Project since 1996. Followup studies through seventh grade show that laptops enhanced academic gains among students who traditionally have not succeeded in school. Laptop users consistently outperformed nonusers. (MLH)
