Historically implementing, maintaining and managing computer technology has been extremely difficult for most K-12 educational systems. The sometimes impressive facade of computers gracing desktops in many schools obscures a more sobering reality; that educational technology in schools is often so unavailable and unreliable that its use by students and teachers is effectively negated. Under these circumstances, teachers are presented with a confusing array of poorly supported educational technology options (Cuban, 2001, Barron et al. 2003). As a consequence, opportunities for significant productivity gains from educational technology including pedagogical advances, closing the achievement gap, and facilitating K-12 reforms have gone unrealized. Nevertheless, we now have empirical evidence that educational technology applications can make a positive impact on educational performance. Work by Levin and Schrum, and others demonstrate that introducing educational technology into K-12 curricula can improve student performance (Levin & Schrum, 2013). Although the integration of educational technology in the K-12 system is still relatively early in the process, we have growing empirical evidence that it is beginning to work. Meta-analytical studies by Cheung and Slavin on the effects of educational technology on mathematics achievement and reading outcomes reveal modest but positive effects on academic achievement when compared with traditional methods (Cheung & Slavin 2013; Cheung & Slavin 2012).
