A larger issue for me is that the “tablet intervention” was not predicated on an identification of root causes of the performance discrepancies.
It is a clear case of selecting the “transportation” before the “destination” is clearly defined. so it is entirely possible to evaluate what was done and find that it was actually done; but the performance issue not only remains, but is more firmly entrenched.

The problem is as you stated, monitoring, not just the use of the laptops but how it affects and improves learning. Technology for technology sake has it’s benefits but without monitoring and evaluation, these programs will always be questionable. Trinidad and now Jamaica are the pioneers in the Caribbean, the other islands are looking on. The real question is’ are we setting a good example?
