Are you kidding me???

I recently have been catching up on my reading on all of the eduacional articles. This article was about a study on technology not increasing test scores. Here is the link if you want to read it. http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/news/display.var.1264136.0.0.php
Do they really think that you can test techology literacy, logic, analyzation of content and synthesizing of content in a standardized test like the CSAP? And what exactly does "attainment in formal qualifications" mean? And if there is such concern over internet plagiarism then shouldn't we make that part of our curriculum so the kids are required to learn about it and be held accountable for knowing what exactly internet plagiarism entails? Ther were parts of the article that I agreed with like:

Where schools were using computers well, it helped pupils build effective problem solving skills, encouraged independent learning as well as communication and teamworking and improved the opportunities for teachers to collaborate.

If this is true how can anyone argue against the technology. I agree that it must be implemented correctly and staff needs to be trained; however if we are increase problem solving skills, independent learning, communication and cross-curricular collaboration and "standard test scors" are staying the same, maybe we need to revisit those tests.
I just thought it was interesting to read and it was just written March 16, 2007 (today) :)
