abstract = {This paper studies the effects of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the school environment on educational achievement.  To quantify these effects, the impact is evaluated of a project run by the municipality of Guayaquil, Ecuador, which provides computer-aided instruction in mathematics and language to students in primary schools.  Using an experimental design, it is found that the program had a positive impact on mathematics test scores (about 0. 30 of a standard deviation) and a negative but statistically insignificant effect on language test scores.  The impact is heterogeneous and is much larger for those students at the top of the achievement distribution.},
