In 2010, the Crowther Centre partnered with PASCO, a global leader in developing technology based solutions for hands-on Science. The resulting project looked at the impact of hand-held data collection devices on a Physics classroom. A decrease in the amount of instructional language and the ability of the students to engage in higher thinking were two of the findings of this research project.
