Cautious Optimism on Technology in the Classroom- Alex Cerny

I read Catching on at last: New technology is poised to disrupt America’s schools, and then the world’s from The Economist. This article discusses the issues with the implementation of technology in the classroom. It states that technology use is beneficial but especially so when how it is used is considered. The new technologies allow teachers to better understand how students learn and provides them with endless data. The issue becomes what to do with all the data and how to protect it. An additional concern is that these technologies maybe reserved for only the wealthy, when it is the lower income schools that could benefit from it the most.
