An article from the New York Times News Service has shown up in several newspapers recently... the general conclusion of the authors is that educational software-- specifically Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutors-- is not effective. Visitors to the Carnegie webs site can see research that the software is effective, and the authors cite other research that it is not effective.
It sure seems to me that this discord points to the simple conclusion that technology alone is not going to solve any education problems... also that no single approach or model or curriculum or reform alone is going to solve any education problem.
