Since the article was written there have been many technology and budgetary changes that have influenced the use of technology in general and in education. Changes in hardware, software, and online media are continual. K-12 technology course offerings are slower in responding to change but teachers coming into the profession who have used technology for years bring new ideas and expectations. Students are more familiar with technology than most teachers. These evolving factors play into the technological aspects of teaching today's students.

Changes in hardware, software, and online media are continual. K-12 technology course offerings are slower in responding to change but teachers coming into the profession who have used technology for years bring new ideas and expectations.

It is difficult to give weight to any of the assertions made in the article because the points made are so vague and hard to measure objectively. The most important point made is that student's reading ability and comprehension level must be taken into consideration. With such a significant part of the student population in the country struggling with reading, comprehension, ADD, ADHD, it is hard to assign any objective value to these assertions. Would anyone else make technology decisions for education based on the ideas put forth? I apologize for being negative, but the article was not very scientific, well-supported, and it wasn't even cited properly.
