The Technology Edge: Putting Modern Tools in Young Hands is the name of chapter 3. This chapter talks about how education hasn't been keeping up with the growth of technology. There has been many research projects that say that if students don't use technology to in schools they won't reach their full potential compared to if they did use it. Here is the five main points that I felt were important in this chapter.
1. There should be a 1:1 ration, one student to one computer in schools.
2. There are many different ways to learn language. Students can use iPod, iListen and iRead to improve their reading.
3. Online learning has been growing and has had many positive effects. Such as if a student wants to take a class that his or her high school doesn't offer they can take it online. Therefore they have the same opportunities as other students.
4. The lectures are decreasing because there are so many other great ways to have students learn.
5. Advances in assistive technology great for teachers and students.
