ABSTRACT The modern school system is placed under increasing scrutiny and examinations to prove students are making the adequate amount of progress on a yearly basis. This government mandate for accountability has left our schools scrambling to implement intervention programs which will help struggling students increase their achievement levels in the content areas of Language Arts and Mathematics. This research paper attempts to demonstrate how useful technology can be in support of these intervention programs, which schools all over the country are incorporating into their curriculum. This paper outlines many examples of studies which have proven computer-based instruction (along with other forms of technology-based learning) improves student achievement. These studies share success stories of many investigations which verify the effectiveness of computer based learning and how these methodologies are used to promote student achievement.
