OECD countries have made significant investments to enhance the role of technology in education. Are these investments paying off? This book provides a summary of the most recent Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) survey, that relies on a wealth of comparative data to begin answering the question--including evidence on the availability and use of technology and the actual benefits accruing from it.
