Using Technology to Support Education Reform
http://www.ed.gov/pubs/EdReformStudies/TechReforms/

        Educational technologies are not single technologies but complex combinations of hardware and
        software. These technologies may employ some combination of audio channels, computer code, data
        graphics, video, or text. This excellent article reviews the history and current status of educational
        technologies, and highlights differences in the instructional purposes of various technology
        applications.
