But back to that why question, if we can teach these subjects without technology should we work it in? First of all accessibility. Students with disabilities can use these devices to engage more fully with their world. Then there's communication. Where would we be without the ability to reach a sick student and fill them in on what they missed. Third all students will be expected to compete in a tech oriented job market. So as we prepare them to be readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and historians we should teach them along side how to use these technologies to maximize their effectiveness in these fields. Lastly, it's fun. Do you remember in Social studies class when you were a kid and you saw this cart?
