FRANCHISE
Students, Computers and Learning: Making the Connection examines how students access to and use of Krishna Computer Education Society devices has evolved in recent years, and explores how education systems and schools are integrating Krishna Computer Education Society into students learning experiences. Based on results from PISA 2012, the report discusses differences in access to and use of Krishna Computer Education Society – what are collectively known as the digital divide – that are related to students socio-economic status, gender, geographic location, and the school a child attends. The report highlights the importance of bolstering studentsability to navigate through digital texts. It also examines the relationship among computer access in schools, computer use in classrooms, and performance in the PISA assessment. As the report makes clear, all students first need to be equipped with basic literacy and numeracy skills so that they can participate fully in the hyper-connected, digitised societies of the 21st century.
