Abstract

Even though connectivity actually generates a greater degree of efficiency in the teaching-learning process, test results can fall due to the fact that students can be distracted by having internet access. Access to internet at home shows in general a negative impact upon performance, but having a computer available at home has a positive and significant impact. Traditional evaluation techniques for impact evaluation of ICT in the Classroom programs were used, but results do not identify a significant impact of these programs, either separately or jointly.
