I read this article posted on a teachers website at Greenway Middle School in Phoenix, AZ. I thought that this was interesting. The article stated that “we find ourselves today, in a classroom full of students as diverse as the world in which we live. Research on the human brain has shown that not all students learn by one particular strategy.” (Carter 2007) Technology can allow students to achieve their goals in the classroom. By incorporating technology students of all abilities can:
1. interact with the use of a different medium other than just a text book
2. learn how to manage information
3. move from merely acquiring information to developing higher order thinking skills by learning how to analyze and present information
Technology gives students a chance to sort out and present their findings on a particular subject.

I think that technology is very importatnt for kids in school. When students get out of school they will be working in a technology rich environment. Early exposure will help them have greater success.
