Let's Talk Technology
Won’t it cost a lot of money to get the kind of technology needed in schools? Where will that money come from? Ideally, we would like to see integration of things like touch screens, writing tablets and other things that are yet to be developed. However, the sort of digitized system being proposed is possible with fairly simple computer processing requirements. Companies will often donate old computers and local colleges and universities buy new computers to fill their labs every few years. There is a lot of money being thrown at special education and other initiatives, why shouldn't it be used to give every kid a specialized education? The money/equipment is out there if it could be properly allocated. If technology could be used in a way that made it a necessity, the cost will be viewed as worth it.
