What impact does having a home computer and the ability to access information on the Internet have on success in school? Macho (technology education, State U. of New York, Buffalo College) takes on the question parents and educators have been asking since those PCs first appeared in family rooms across America. He tracks use of the PC against the standard test scores of a cohort of American children, closely detailing the relationship between the acquisition of data and the ability to apply it directly within a relatively narrow focus. Although we still cannot tell if other outside forces, such as socio-economic status, remains at the root of success in the tests, we do know from Macho's work that there is a correlation. The results should have major impact on whether a school or district will commit to providing technology to students. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
