This project will conduct a longitudinal study of a naturally occurring experimental design resulting from a district-initiated project to supply a cohort of 40 incoming freshmen and 20 teachers with laptop computers. The district, Union City, has committed three years of funding to this project and will add 40 students and teachers in years two and three. Through the use of ethnographic methods, the project will examine the relationships between and among school reform efforts in general, the application of technology, and the overall changes in school achievement. The study will focus on student learning, teacher beliefs and practices, administrator roles and parent involvement. Overall, the study seeks to show when long term investment in technology is partnered with reform of curriculum and teaching. The findings can be used by national, state and local policy makers.

本项目将对一个自然发生的实验设计进行纵向研究，该实验设计来自一个地区发起的项目，为40名新生和20名教师提供笔记本电脑。 该地区，联合城，已承诺三年的资金，这一项目，并将增加40名学生和教师在第二年和第三年。 通过使用人种学方法，该项目将审查学校一般改革努力、技术的应用和学校成绩的总体变化之间的关系。 这项研究将集中在学生的学习，教师的信念和做法，管理员的角色和家长的参与。 总的来说，这项研究试图表明，在技术方面的长期投资何时与课程和教学的改革相结合。 研究结果可供国家、州和地方决策者使用。
