One of Tech&Learning’s favorite case studies back at the beginning of this decade was Mooresville, NC School District and the Superintendent Mark Edwards.

Granted, I did not plunk down the $36 to download the entire report but did dig into this synopsis by Jill Barshay at The Hechinger Report, which dampens any continuing hoopla about new tech equaling high scores.
