it mentioned not prepping kids enough in technology, but the truth is we lack teachings on MANY current life skills. How to file taxes, how to use tech, financial literacy, etc. The world is changing but curriculum is not.

The difference between the two schools in the beginning of this video is a big ah ha moment for me because it really shows the difference between the two schools idea of technology. On one hand its apart of their every day lives and are very dependent on it, even have a robotics class. On the other hand, the school has very little access to technology and wishes they did.

"In the well funded districts..." makes me wonder again about the history of the area. In my first education class we had to learn about systemic racism and gerrymandering and how it creates poor income areas with schools that aren't funded well enough to provide children born into poverty with the proper resources for them to get out of the situation they were born into. Is this a problem we could, as a country, solve by looking a little deeper?

I agree that if you want to teach students or let them learn about computers or have them do assignments on the computer, then they need to provide them to the students.

I thought it was interesting that one of the students said that her hopes for the future were very "technologically dependent." Without access to technology her idea of the future (the career path she chooses, where she goes to college, etc.) would be completely different.

it is definitely very difficult to get all of the students online at once even when all the students have the access to the technology. It usually takes just as long to get the technology connected to the internet as it does to complete the project they are supposed to be doing

I was SO thrilled to hear one of the nonprofits talk about advancement in TEACHER PREPARATION. Because teachers are underpaid, under-appreciated, and overworked, there is a teacher shortage. To fix this, many states have decided to lower the requirements to teach rather than step up and provide better for educators. This means many teachers do not have a college degree, which means curriculum becomes more script-like (and less individualized for kids' learning styles.) This is a HUGE cause of many problems in our education system.

After coming to college and learning about the flawed education system in America, I've struggled because I feel like nobody knows this is happening- but they do. The educators do. The problem truly is in the system- educators know well what to do and how to do it! They just need the resources. I think understand even better now why advocating is such a large part of teaching.

Watching this kind of highlighted my own experience in high school. My school became one to one my junior year of high school and before then I can remember my teachers having to check out the computer cart from our library and they would have to share and plan their lessons around that. Along with that, once we all received our chromebooks, my teachers did not really implement them in the classroom using canvas or whatever. Like we had them but it felt like they were not really being used practically in the classroom. Hopefully by now my school has adjusted to having them and they are used much more, but that is just my experience that I remembered while watching this.

Where I grew up and went to school, we always had access to technology. We had computer carts available for just about every classroom. We had computers surrounding the library. We even had extra computers in our student services office. I would say almost every single student had their own computer and more computers at home. I never realized how many challenges other schools face with technology or how hard having internet connection was.  It was just a given at my school that technology was always able to be accessed and I never considered how other schools struggle to get just one computer in the classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that if we want students to be able to achieve and to face the challenges these schools are dealing with, is through a unified effort like the video said. It is important for teachers, principles and other educators to find the right plan for them to succeed in making technology a helpful tool within their classrooms.
