This study examined the impact of using information and communication technology (ICT) and cooperative learning on student achievement in geometry class. Two groups of students were compared: one used ICT alone while the other used both ICT and cooperative learning. Pre- and post-tests showed that while both groups improved, the group using both ICT and cooperative learning performed significantly better. The results indicate that simply providing technology is not enough and that effective pedagogical approaches like cooperative learning maximize the benefits of integrating technology into teaching.

Webquest A WebQuest," according to Bernie Dodge, the originator of the WebQuest concept, "is an inquiryâoriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than on looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation."

Use of MS Powerpoint Presentations in Games and Tournaments Implementation of TGT was modified through the use of computers and a presentation program called Microsoft Powerpoint. Instead of creating 400 cards for a 10âtable and 20âitem game, a presentation was created using the built-in features of the software.
