Many times when you think of technology integration in the classroom, one might just think of the general classroom, but technology can also be beneficial for at-risk students. In the article, "Using Technology to Enhance Engaged Learning for At-Risk Students," it is harping on how important technology integration can be to help engage students that are considered at-risk. In the article it states, "Technology has tremendous power to help students obtain, organize, manipulate, and display information. Using technology for meaningful activities also helps integrate a variety of disciplines, more closely resembling activities that people undertake in the world beyond the classroom." I feel that this statement shows how important it is to integrate technology into the classroom. Not only can technology integration be beneficial for at-risk students but it can also help prepare students to understand technology-based skills, which can prove to be essential to them when they are through with school.
