Abstract

This paper reports on the research design and implications stemming from a statewide evaluation developed during a Department of Education Title IID (EETT) grant. This paper will introduce NCLB definitions and critical issues to consider while developing research and evaluation methods for technology integration projects. The North Carolina IMPACT project, an evaluation of 11 technology-infused schools in low income districts, serves as a case illustrating the complexity of research under NCLB. Presenters will explore the practical challenges involved in research that complies with new federal standards under NCLB. This work is supported in part by a grant from ESEA, Title II, D.
