How Teachers are Integrating Tech Common Core

Summary:
   Basically, this article attempted to correlate the Common Core teaching standards with the benefits of technology added to it. It tells all the pros of integrating technology, such as the ipad, into the classrooms and future educations systems.One of these is that a student can connect with his world and learn the world is an audience which to teach and learn from. The article also seems to stress, "with help from adults" in helping these kids develop this new way of learning.

Opinion:
   I see several problems with this method, but I will only address one. Does a child not need to learn in an environment with methods from which he/she is most familiar? This plan seems to be discriminating against the children and "helping adults" who can't afford such technology at home (or elsewhere). To pay for such, would public schools then charge fees or possibly even tuition? If so, again, how do you expect everyone to meet those requirements to receive such an innovative classroom? You will always have those who cannot. I do not see the practicality point of this integration process. Yes, it is a great idea to teach a child that his/her world extends beyond that of which they are most familiar. I do not, however, believe any family, adult, or child should be forced to this. Money is the bottom line for many troubles and I do not believe education is an exception. Education ultimately stems from the home. If the home is not adaptable to these "standards," why should the classroom be.
