Week 14-The Future of Technology and Education

I found the following article for this assignment:

The Future of Technology and Education

This article expressed many of the same themes that have been expressed in various articles that we have read throughout the semester. There were some however that were expressed differently or emphasized in a particular that stood out to me. The themes of the article include:

-The American School System needs to change to incorporate more technology
-School District and Administration need to find a way to provide equipments, software, and proper training and workshops for teachers
-Students' quality of education will only be shortchanged the longer we put off making adjustments
-These adjustments are necessary for kids to work in today's society and compete and contribute to global economics
-People expect technology in their everyday lives, it's time that our classes catch up

The author had many interesting points that emphasized how essential it is to get everybody onboard to continue integrating technology into the classrooms, including administrators, parents, teachers, and students.
