"First and foremost, I think that new and innovative technologies used in schools better prepares students for skills they will need when they reach the workforce. Most businesses, industries, and careers use technology from simple desktop computers to advanced software programs. Students need to come out of high school with the skills to at least word process and troubleshoot common tech issues. The other huge impact that technology has had in the classroom is the ability for educators to quickly tailor programs to a student's abilities. Rather than spending 1:1 time with students away from the class, math, science, and language programs can be individually tailored to a child's ability so a teacher can then have all students focused on their tailored work at the same time."
