(Note that the data is taken froma seven-point rating scale and thus percentages are of limited accuracy – they should beused as a guide only.) Initially, teachers felt students spent more time not doing anythinguseful than any other single activity. Later, the ratings become more even, with thehighest rating for working on the task (not on the computer) and an increase in theamount of time speaking to the teacher.Del 4.4: AtGentive Final Evaluation Report page 31
