Students Technological Expectations
I
am a public school teacher at a school that has a
wide variety of socioeconomic levels feeding into
it. Because of the lack of funding in the schools,
and because most of my students do not have
computers in the home, their expectations for
technological development are low. In fact, they
are not very comfortable even surfing the
internet. Of course there are some students who do
have these capabilities and advantages, but they
are few and far between. An ideal situation would
be one in which all students had access to
technology at home and at school from K-12. Once
the public realizes that putting money into
education is important, we can properly fund our
schools and teach our students to be successful.
If we truly wish to "leave no student behind,"
then we need to make sure that we are setting them
up for success, not for failure, and teaching them
the necessary skills to compete in the job market;
which includes
technology.
