No Child Left Behind challenged all states to have technology fully integrated into the curriculum and all students technologically proficient by the eighth grade.

Schools are using computer-adaptive tests to help teachers address
individual student needs, increase student motivation, identify problem
areas, and adjust instruction and even class groupings (like forming
multi-age classes lessons) accordingly. However, so far only Oregon is
allowed to use computer-adaptive tests to fulfill NCLB requirements
How well students and schools – from kindergarten through high school – succeed in mastering a curriculum that includes English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, and the social and natural sciences, strongly influences how well the students fare in higher education.
The architect of NCLB puts forward an index of "educational quality". We need such an index -- is this the right one?
Students in public schools have math scores that are just as good if not
better than those of students in private schools, according to a new
national study.
Instead of calling these schools "underperforming," the Board of Education is considering labeling them as "Commonwealth priority," to avoid poisoning teacher and student morale.
The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) expressed strong support today for Congressional passage of the No Child Left Behind Act (H.R.1) to reform federal support for the nation's elementary and secondary schools.
The latest report from the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment shows average attainment staying largely flat. This tome, just published, compares the reading, mathematical and scientific progress of 400,000 15-year-olds in the 30 OECD countries and 27 others, covering 87% of the world economy. Its predecessors in 2000 and 2003 focused on reading and maths respectively. This time science took centre stage.
When U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings suggested a year ago that American colleges and universities consider using standardized tests to measure performance, the outrage in academia was loud and swift. Critics worry that No Child Left Behind type accountability measures are being unleashed on college campuses. But now some influential college leaders seem to have had a change of heart
Last fall, 10 Massachusetts public schools embarked on an experiment: Lengthen the school day by at least 25 percent, give students extra doses of reading, writing, and math, and let teachers come up with creative ways to reinforce their lessons.
