Well, the best way to answer this question is something that I learned in the reading from Grace's class. The book said that more and more students are learning via technology. More so than their teachers themselves did. Right now everything is run by technology, and that's the way it's going to be unless we start degressing as a race. The reading specifically mentioned the Multiple Intelligence Theory (MI), with MI students learn in different ways. Computers have different programs and software to help students focus on their intelligence to learn the material at hand. Computers are simply a fantastic resource.
The only question or concern would have to do with the cost. The cost for all of these programs must be pretty expensive and that would be diffuicult to deal with when facing a small school budget.

I love that you're learning about technology in your other classes. :-) The cost is a major concern. It's why the state cut back from providing laptops for 7-12 to only 7-8. Yet, so many school districts are struggling to make up the difference and provide the laptops for 9-12 because they see them as "a fantastic resource".
good reflection.

So.... how wrong was I? Kids have no clue how to use computers. I thought they would be so far advanced, but all they know how to do is use the internet and word. While there are so many programs they can use the students have never had a need to use them. The studets know less than I do, and I'm clueless.
