Stretch Task Blog - In Classroom of Future, Stagnant Scores

The Blog that I read to do my stretch task was called "In Classroom of Future, Stagnant Scores". The article talked about a technologically advanced school in America. The school is full of laptops, active boards, and things like that. I was surprised when it said that the test scores of the students hadn't gotten any better.Schools are spending billions of dollars on technology, yet they are laying off teachers or cutting their budgets with little evidence that the technology is actually helping kids learn. Using laptops in schools doesn't help kids with math, or science very much, but it does help them learn more about the world. I think that technology teachers should think about what could actually improve the students grades, rather than wasting money on things that kids don't need.
