I agree with you that students have different learning styles, and that these must be met in order to maximize learning. This is for Matthew.

I truely believe that technology in education can really help many of the skills that children need to further themselves in life. Ed-Tech helps improve test scores because the students are more attentive in and outside of the classroom because of using technology. I have a question though...is there any research that refutes this information? I feel as though that if we fall too far into Ed-tech, that we will lose some of our other programs in the struggle (like band, choir, theatre, gym, etc.) Technology is not really a big thing right now in disciplines were the need to express oneself is very prominent. What would happen to programs like these if we were completely overrun by technology in the education feild. Sometimes I feel as though that the overuse of ed-tech would completly wipe out these more kinesthetic programs because the teacher doesn't need to be as present as usual. But...overall, ed-tech has helped to improve other areas of learning as well in the process. It's kind of a double-edged sword in my opinion.
