Add this to another station Future Tense Podcast for February 15, 2005 (1.37MB; download) -- A recent study of European school children found that students who use computers extensively perform worse in math and reading. The study, conducted by the CESifo economic research group in Munich, contradicts some earlier work which suggests computers boost grades. Critics of classroom tech say the new research does a better job of controlling for demographic factors. Researchers took into account that computer-using students tend to come from more affluent, better-educated families, and those students tend to do better on tests. Guest: Todd Oppenheimer, author of the Flickering Mind: the False Promise of Technology in the Classroom, and How Learning Can Be Saved
