Project CHILD is a technology enhanced form of teaching within an elementary school setting. Teachers specialize in core content areas. During class, teachers provide traditional instructions on most days, but also incorporate computer-based activities regularly for students to check their understanding of material. This form of instruction helps facilitate motivation, involvement, and feedback for students. This article quickly reviews several studies throughout Florida and finds that Project CHILD is generally successful at increasing student learning.
