Coverage of a report published in Britain, NESTA's Decoding Learning (90 page PDF) on "the challenge of enhancing learning with technology in schools." It offers three perspectives:

  • the proof that technology can enhance learning
  • the potential to make better use of the technology, and
  • the promise found in areas where technology is undervalued and underused

It's interesting to note how the report is bing covered in the media: BBC - Costly hi-tech kit lies unused in schools, says study; Telegraph - Schools 'wasting £450m a year' on useless gadgets.
