I disagree that students can not bring their own technology. What happens if a student with a visual impairment needs a bigger computer with access to videotape lectures?

Verizon/ school board provided digital tablets to all students and teachers. This gave students equal opportunities for the use of technology.

In New York City, a school found a corporation(Verizon), and was able to gift each student a computer and internet access . This allows each student a different opportunity to grow and learn.

60% of teachers feel uncomfortable which makes sense as technology is always rapidly changing. To top it all teacher's aren't given the time to actually sit down and learn how to use the technology being implemented

I'm glad this document touches upon inequitable technology in the rural south/appalachia, where this inequity is very obvious, yet under-observed in my opinion.

I think students should be allowed to bring their own personal technology products to school.

why wouldn't the teachers take the lead and learn how to use the iPads rather than just leaving them there gathering dust?

The program In LA was a complete bust as the teachers only had 2-3 days of training.

Teachers need more adequate training for technology and being able to implement technology into their classrooms.

it should be required for all schools to have strong wifi. its unfair for students and can mess up teachers lessons. I understand it's expensive but how is it fair for some schools to have wifi and some left with no connection. something should be done for this

"What message do you send to your class when wanting to teach a child how to use a computer, but do not have the access to a computer."

# data[].attributes.body
There needs be access of technology for all students. I think that it is a priority for all students to get technology and not just some- its not fair and they don't stay engaged as much in the curriculum.

When talking about the negative effects of lower income districts not having technology, there is a lot of negative talk about the lack of resources to some schools vs excess resources at others. What would be a suggestion for resolving this issue?

How can the public school system provide students with the necessary tools they need (i.e. computers, technology, calculators, etc.)?

is this exposure to technology all day everyday in school healthy for kids, especially in elementary school?

I think it is unfair that all students do not get the same opportunities with technology and have less of a chance than other schools to have access to these technology opportunities.

So far in the video, it seems that the areas struggling with technology have more POC students

Students tend to be far more engaged when encouraged to use technology. For students, it's usually more fun and interesting.

I agree that, education could be very different without incorporating technology.

Children are very attracted to and engaged in their learning through technology.

I feel as if technology is helping students experience real world applications in fields. it's almost like it helps students figure out at a younger age what their passion is. its hard to figure out what you are interested in when ur reading books and looking at a whiteboard all day

I went to a middle school that used a lot of technology and had courses that involved technology and creating technology, then went to a high school that didn't provide the same thing, so I agree that it does affect students goals and knowledge.

Students not having access to technology will not only negatively effect them, but will effect us as well with their lack of knowledge in technology.

It is very common to see two schools one thriving and one lacking only 5 miles apart. It is very unfortunate and we can see what happens when students are given materials they begin to flourish.

Without having technology, students aren't able to see what they're interested in.

I agree that school could be difficult without technology because you are more limited to resources and don't have all the accessible tools that are at your fingertips when you use technology.

I agree with the statement that if there is no technology available to students, it is very difficult to do well and stay up to date with education
