“Tis’ the Season for Technology” by Gary Stager talks about how schools are mobilizing for the new technology phase in America. Only once in America’s life time, did students have more technology in their house than the schools. “Tis’ the Season for Technology” matters to me because know I will have tools at school that aren’t regularly available at home. Sure I have a laptop but, I don’t have access to a teacher to ask questions to. This article matters to education because schools are going overboard with the holiday sales this year. There making IPod labs! What educational benefit does this offer to the students? Sure they can take video and record sounds, but really!? With the ever dwindling school budget we need to conserve it for the old stuff like books, paper, pencils, the huge monitors, and projectors. If the school still has more money left over then why are we complaining about the schools budget? “Tis’ the Season for Technology” matters to the world because technology is becoming a virtual part of our lives. It seems that technology and education go hand and hand.
