Abstract
This chapter addresses the important role that technology has played in school reform work over two decades in two realms: the use of technology to support the reform itself, and technological advances for curriculum and classroom instruction and the research on student achievement. The viability of such innovation in high-need, low-achieving schools is reviewed with some recommendations for technology’s reform in reform initiatives.
