Do students with an IPadAir or MacBook Air learn more than those without tablets or laptops?

School administrators will attempt to answer that question during the summer break.

Adding devices for students has been popular, but the initiatives are still being studied. One of the challenges: tech is integrated into so many aspects of life, it’s difficult to isolate how much learning can be attributed solely to the technology.

Increasing parental concerns about privacy and the amount of screen time are also growing issues.
