I agree with some schools lacking the ability to use digital technology or even have access to it. This could be good in some ways allowing the students to be able to connect with each other, but it also hurts some students learning abilities because they are not able to use technology.

Education and schooling would be very different without technology. Technology is what makes it interesting and is innovative, always improving.

while the other school explains that they are "technology dependent" and couldn't imagine a school with out technology. It's very disappointing but accurate to how different a student's education is just based on where they go.

The black students were disadvantaged because their schools did not have computers. While on the other hand, the predominantly white school had crazy amounts of advanced technology that they utilized everyday. It makes me sad they do not have the same opportunity because of circumstances out of their control.

One thing I question is the distribution of funds. I know a lot of funding comes from income tax in the school's area. However I wonder if these schools without technology also have the problem of too much funding going towards sports rather than distributing it out towards STEM & tech. (I could be completely wrong, but it's good food for thought.)

Students are being given basic necessities. Now a days a need is for technology in schools, while years ago the fight was for books and textbooks for students to learn more.

It ends up taking up a lot of time for them to get there technology to connect when they could spend that time learning

How are kids expected to take state/nation-wide standard test on computers, when their school doesn't have access to them? Even if computers are provided for these tests, how are students expected to be successful in taking the test if they lack the knowledge to use them properly or in a test setting?

This reminds me of the reading where it is important to not only teach the kids about how to use the technology but also parents so they can help their student prosper.

Maybe we depend on technology to much these day. I remember back when I was in school we didn't have internet or technology. We did everything by paper and book. Is having technology at school such a deal breaker? Can the student not have the same type of education that a student with technology would?

Students have radically different experiences in school based on what their district funding looks like.

This is so sad how companies act like they are superheroes when they give low-income schools technology. Technology should be distributed fairly amongst all schools because it makes it even harder for teachers to give their students the same opportunity.  It is like some schools are purposefully being set up to make certain students fall behind in society.
