This article discusses three compendiums of Ed Tech research giving readers a fairly broad overview of where the field stands today. But, just as with technology, research is constantly moving forward. New and exciting ways to use technology and valuable data to support different kinds of technology use are continually being discovered. The texts briefly discussed in this article include: (1) "The Impact of Education Technology on Student Achievement: What the Most Current Research Has to Say," by John Schacter, 1999. This analysis of seven major studies augments the work done by Thompson et al. It was published by the Milken Family Foundation; (2) "The Sustainability Challenge: Taking EdTech to the Next Level," edited by Norris Dickard, 2003. This 10-year inquiry into educational technology in our schools highlights a lack of support in the current use of educational technology in many of our K-12 school districts. This report was published by the Benton Foundation; and (3) "The Technology Fix: The Promise and Reality of Computers in Our Schools," by William Pflaum, 2004. This book is a qualitative augmentation to Dickard's work.
