Data,data, data...How Can It Personalize Learning?

This article is a summary of a study, "Impacts of the Digital Ocean on Education." John Hattle, author of the study analyzed factors that infuenced student achievement and the most important factor was when teachers use information about their students' learning.  We have an abundance of data but finding what is relevant is not an easy task because of the sheer volume of data available. 
The author states that work done on the computer provide instant feedback to the student, whereas work not done on the computer requires teacher time to evaluate and provide feedback.  At the end of the article you can download the study.
