Abstract

(Note--outstanding paper award, Site 2004) This article reports on the research design and implications stemming from a statewide evaluation developed during a Department of Education Title IID (EETT) grant. This article introduces 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 No Child Left Behind legislation. In this article, the authors explore the practical challenges involved in research that complies with new federal standards. This work is supported in part by a grant from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title II, D.
