Why Laptops Alone Aren’t Boosting Kids’ Learning—And What Might

I’ve often been intrigued by the idea that if kids have the right tools, they can learn almost anything on their own—especially now that computers, smartphones, and the internet are practically everywhere. However, some research (like the OECD’s 2015 study on technology in classrooms) show that simply giving students laptops hasn’t dramatically improved their scores in most subjects. So while devices are more accessible than ever, the “supercharged” learning we expected still isn’t a reality.
