In a New York Times editorial, Ethan Bronner cited a study of college and high-school students that found that those who learned algebra with computers did better on a series of tests than those who learned it through more traditional methods. Bronner also quoted a study that found technology improves students' communication skills and the quality of their presentations and makes it easier for them to complete writing and editing assignments.
