We all know that in today’s world there is technology everywhere. As the education system improves, so does the advancement of technology. We are being influenced by all these electronics and gadgets. So you ask, “What’s the Catch?” Even though we are aware of the growth of technology some schools have resisted the use of technology. In example; the use of IPads instead of textbooks. The average cost of textbooks per year, provided for one student, is $200 to $700. Now if you do the math, that’s $600 to $2,800 for 4 years of high school, provided for one student only. North High would save a lot more if they purchased an IPads (up to $600) for each student, and use them year after year. They can also update books electronically; it would cost less and save more trees. Overall we are all aware that education can’t avoid technology. The world is changing and schools must learn how to advance with technology.
