Technology has proven to compute long math algorithms, file and save important information, and even save lives, but there are many setbacks to involving technology in our education. First I would like to discuss the importance of funding. For decades, urban and working class school districts have been under-funded, and inappropriately use tax dollars. As Jean Anyon (1980) cites "there is a "hidden curriculum" in schoolwork"(Anyon 1). If we continue to stress this technology revolution, we will be feeding into social inequities that have plagued our nation.
Read this article about our poverty levels and see if you can afford it.
