TECHNOLOGY
Not long ago, most technology (apart from the overhead projector) was considered a classroom distraction. Now, it’s an educational asset. Kids as young as 10 years old are getting their first cell phones, and it’s not unusual for K-12 students to use tablets, laptops, and mobile devices at school. Digital literacy is essential for success in the 21st century. It’s hardly feasible for modern schools to remain tech-free.
