From the Paper:

"Properly used, technology can enhance student achievement. At a basic level, students are exposed to computer-aided instruction to "drill" or to learn by rote; they can use videodiscs that help strengthen math skills or to learn new words, and multimedia software to accelerate their learning curve. At the other end of the spectrum, students learn to organize complex information, recognize patterns, draw inferences and communicate findings; they can learn better organizational and problem-solving skills using computer-generated simulations, videodiscs, the Internet and CD-ROMs."
