This article talks about how it is good to have technology in schools such as computers and computer labs however they are not a substitute for teachers. The article goes on to talk about how there was a study where computers were dropped off with no instructions and within weeks students were on Disney channel and other social media sites.That study didn't show where computers helped students that much.In a separate study students were given computers that were specifically designed and could only go to certain sites and sites like YouTube and Disney were blocked. those students showed more educational growth. In the end computers are of great value but the educators need to be educated on how to correctly use them in the classroom to make sure they are doing more good than harm.
