Comfort levels in using technology are an important predictor of technology integration; appropriate training and ongoing support are essential until teachers are comfortable with ICT in the classroom.
“Archer et al. (2014) found that comfort levels in using technology are an important predictor of technology integration and argued that it is essential to provide teachers with appropriate training and ongoing support until they are comfortable with using ICTs in the classroom.”
From Impacts of digital technologies on education and factors influencing schools' digital capacity and transformation: A literature review (2023) · cites this paper as Archer et al., 2014
Some authors argue that technology's educational impact hinges on multiple factors rather than on the technology alone.
“Based on these findings, several authors have suggested that the impact of technology on education depends on several variables and not on the technology per se (Tamim et al., 2011; Higgins et al., 2012; Archer et al., 2014; Sung et al., 2016; Haßler et al., 2016; Chauhan, 2017; Lee et al., 2020; Lei et al., 2022a).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
