Barron, Brigid; Walter, Sarah E., Martin, Caitlin Kennedy, Schatz, Colin (Jan2010). Predictors of creative
computing participation and profiles of experience in two Silicon Valley middle schools. Computers &
Education; jan2010, Vol. 54 Issue 1, p178-189, 12p
The authors Brigid Barron, Sarah E. Walter, Caitlin Kennedy Martin, and Colin Schatz studied 160 8th grade learners in Silicon Valley. The study detailed that having access to a computer was not as important as what technological tools the students used while having access to a computer. The study was in two different schools, and the parents had different educational levels. The study used regression analysis. The study concluded that students with a wider array of learning resources were more confident in their computer skills.

Korakakis, G., Pavlatou, E.A., Palyvos, J.A., Spyrellis, N. (Feb2009). 3D visualization types in
multimedia applications for science learning: A case study for 8th grade students in Greece.
Computers & Education; Feb2009, Vol. 52 Issue 2, p390-401, 12p
Authors G. Korakakis, E.A. Pavlatou, J.A. Palyvos, and N. Spyrellis performed a subject study on 218 8th grade students, ages 13 and 14. This study was conducted in Greece, however; it does have meaning in the United States. The journal states that 3D illustration, 3D animation, and interactive 3D animation help with student learning and the retention of the material covered. The most critical part of the journal states that the time control of lerning was left to the students.

Ash, Katie (1/7/2009). COMPUTERS AND LEARNING. Education Week; 1/7/2009, Vol. 28 Issue 16
p4-5, 2p.
Author Katie Ash made a very astounding discovery about students' learning and if they had a personal home computer. Katie Ash actually conducted an experiment with over 1 million 5th to 8th grade students in North Carolina and found that those students without access to a home computer actually scored better than those students that did have home computers. If there was effective parental supervision the students did score much better.

STUDENT ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS. e-Journal of New World Sciences Academy
(NWSA); 2009,Vol. 4 Issue 1, p197-207, 11p, 1 chart.
Authors Yasar M. Ozden and Erhan Sengel studied 17 eighth students over a 6-month period. The study was based on internet usage in a new science curriculum. The journal article states the students' preattitude and postattitude scores about the new system in place were quite different. The students believed that taking online exams played a very important role in science learning.

Reid-Griffin, Angelia & Carter, Glenda (June 2008). UNCOVERING THE POTENTIAL: THE ROLE OF
TECHNOLOGIES ON SCIENCE LEARNING OF MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS.
International Jorunal of Science & Mathematics Education; Jun2008, Vol. 6 issue 2, p329-349,
21p, 3 charts, 1 diagram
Authors Angelia Reid-Griffin and Glenda Carter discuss the untapped potential in using state of the art technological advances in teaching children. The authors found out during an experiment they were conducting that the three groups of 7th & 8th grade students were able to use portable data collection devices. The journal article later states that the student groups used the devices to record temperature and heat data.
