I definitely think teachers should adapt to some of the changes mentioned in the article. It is essential for students to graduate now knowing how to do more on a computer than just emailing. Many employers will not hire someone without computer knowledge and experience. In order for students to make it in this world, they need someone to teach them not only the basics, but more.
Also, this article states that many counties that “have supplied laptops to support curricula…have cited dramatic improvements in student engagement, reduced absenteeism, and fewer discipline problems.” If integrating technology in the classroom will help students and teachers, there is no reason it shouldn’t be integrated.
