“Whether used from the traditional or constructivist point of view, when used effectively, research indicates that technology ‘increases students’ learning, understanding and achievement but also augments motivation to learn, encourages collaborative learning and supports the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.”

- Schacter and Fagnano, 1999

Russell and Sorge (1999) also claims that the proper implementation of technology in the classroom gives students more ‘control of their learning and tends to move classroom from teacher-dominated environments to ones that are more learner-centered.
