For my third blog post I would like to touch popular culture in modern schools today, and how it might improve education. Technology for example is widely being integrated into school systems as a main source of education for teachers. According to (http://www.blogger.com/www.edtechactionnetwork.org) computers in classrooms improve learning and achievement among urban, suburban and rural students of all ages and abilities and aids all students to meet high standards. This website also tells us various reasons why most schools push for technology in their classrooms. “As schools strive to meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, technology makes a difference in improving test scores and helping students reach performance goals. Technology also engages students in learning; improves attendance, decreases dropout rates, increases graduation rates and facilitates parent involvement.} (http://www.blogger.com/www.edtechactionnetwork.org)
I’ve included a video here to enhance my point:
With technology included in schools education can be much more effective for kids at an earlier age. Kids will learn much more information sooner versus kids who went to school with no technology. Studies show more effectiveness in kids education, test scores, achievement, and satisfaction with technology.
