Digital Divide

I found this article very interesting to read, especially since I work in a high priority school. Drilling is NOT the way to get children to learn, especially from a computer. A teacher's voice, facial expression and attitude when teaching students is the key to their success. Anyone can sit in front of a computer and do what the computer is telling them, but how many are going to learn from what they are doing? Do the students feel cared about? Just because the students are in a high priority school doesn't mean they shouldn't get the same resources as students in the next district over. I think children learn best is when they feel that the teacher cares about them and when they are being listened to, both things a computer can't do.
