We are reconsidering theanalysis of interviews because of the wealth of information provided by teachers about computertechnology use and implementation (see information technology skills level of awareness). Thisanalysis will hopefully provide a different perspective on the effectiveness of teachers’ use ofcomputer and Internet-based technology in their classrooms. Specifically, there is preliminaryevidence that shows teachers’ use of computers as passive, productive, or as communicationtools to help students learn in the classroom (see below).

Figure3(a) shows that the calibration result was 99.8% accuracy resulting in 1.998 kΩ impedancewhich gave us confidence taking further measurements with water samples. According to theexperimental data plots shown in Figure 3(b) and (c) of impedance measurement, we found thatthe impedance level of distilled water is 45 times higher than that of tap water; the distilled waterimpedance at 15.79 Hz was 90.19 kΩ, while the impedance of tap water was 2.1 kΩ at thesame point/ frequency range. The result indicates that the distilled water has higher purity andfewer electrically conductive ions present than tap water. We also observed a significant

., bringing higher-level variables down to the student level). The problem, again, withthis approach is non-independence of observations, as all students within a given classroomassume identical scores on each variable. Another approach to deal with this problem is toaggregate up to the level of the classroom. Thus, the authors could talk about the effect ofclassroom or teacher characteristics on average achievement for the entire class. However, thereare a number of issues with this approach, including: (a) the authors lose much (perhaps up to80-90%) of individual variability on the outcome variable, which can lead to significant under-or over-estimation of observed relationships between variables [10], and (b) outcome variableschange significantly
