online teaching

In the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow project, Apple Computer, Inc., investigated how teaching and learning change when people have constant access to state-of-the-art technology. The project began in 1985 and is ongoing.

After the first 10 years, the project reported that students became re-energized and more excited about learning when using information technology. Grades improved, standardized test scores went up, and dropout and absenteeism rates decreased, according to Apple’s report on “Teaching, Learning and Technology.”
