Are there computers in the classroom? Does it matter? Students, Computers and Learning: Making the Connection examines how students’ access to and use of information and communication technology (ICT) devices has evolved in recent years, and explores how education systems and schools are integrating ICT into students’ learning experiences. Based on results from PISA 2012, the report discusses differences in access to and use of ICT – what are collectively known as the “digital divide” – that are related to students’ socio-economic status, gender, geographic location, and the school a child attends. The report highlights the importance of bolstering students’ ability to navigate through digital texts. 

Letting children choose what they want to read helps foster a lifelong love for reading. 

The Kids & Family Reading Report surveyed 1,026 parents of  US children aged six to 17, plus one child aged six to 17 from the same household. The biannual report is conducted by Scholastic and managed by YouGov, using GfK’s KnowledgePanel.
