Abstract
The use of modern technology in education is emerging and, to date, very little has been done to formally assess its impact. In Iowa we're familiar with the need to assess our yields, but learning is not as easily measured as corn and beans. The product of public education is the learning of students. Assessments can help measure how successfully the schools promote learning and to what degree students actually gain knowledge and skills. This paper suggests a model that can help educators assess instructional technology.
Technology is a pervasive influence in our society which impacts students one way or another. Educators, who are in control of only some of the technology in their students' lives, should make sure the impact of that instructional technology is as positive as possible.
