Kevork can you tell me the size limit on mail messages you can receive.
Your mail server keeps knocking back the articles I send as too large. Some
data on the topics you listed below can be found in John Hatties book Visual
Learning. Another site of interest is the US Education Departments What
Works Clearing House. http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/ This evaluates a wide
range of programs including ones which use computers in areas like reading
and maths. If you search using computers it brings a lot of their research
reports up.
