Using technology well requires transforming "traditional" instruction into "constructivist" instruction.

(Becker, UC-Irvine, 1999) 

Technology used well improves students' ability to:

• research, analyze, synthesize and represent information and concepts
• work collaboratively solve complex, real-world problems
  
• engage in inquiry and project-based learning
  write clearly and correctly
  

Technology used well improves students':

• enthusiasm for learning
  
• time engaged with the curriculum
  
• taking responsibility for their learning
