ICT has been shown to have positive impacts on student performance, particularly in English language but less so in science. Schools with higher levels of digital maturity saw more rapid performance increases according to studies. Teachers believe that ICT use motivates students and enhances educational achievement. Students also take more responsibility for their work when they use digital portfolios and projects. ICT was shown to develop students' analytical, reading, writing, and self-confidence skills.

2. The findings are interesting:
ICT has positive impact on
students’ performances in
primary schools particularly
in English language and
less in science. Schools
with higher level of e-
maturity show a rapid
increase in performances in
scores compared to those
with lower level.
3. Teachers become more convinced that educational achievements of
pupils are due to good ICT use. In fact, high percentage of teachers in
Europe (86%) states that pupils are more motivated when computers and
Internet are being used in class.
4. Students also assume
responsibilities when
they use ICT to organize
their work through digital
portfolios or projects. In
addition, the study
showed that ICT has
significant impact on
teachers and teaching
processes.
5. Students learn new skills: analytical, including improvements in
reading comprehension (Lewin et al, 2000). ICT also develop
some writing skills: spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and
re-drafting (Lewin et al, 2000).
6. ICT proves that students who used educational
technology felt more successful in school they
are more motivated to learn more and have
increased self- confidence and self-esteem. And
it is too important to learn and teach in a better
way.
