As K-12 classrooms go high-tech, colleges get more virtual

This article was published to explain how advanced technology has gotten in the lower education classrooms and how its starting to decrease in the college level classes. Lower elementary classrooms and high school classrooms have all upgraded their use of technology to teach their students. This article explains the postive and negative sides of having advanced technology in the schools. I think that the more ipads that are given to students still in middle school and high school will take away from the personal side of education. The use of advanced technology has grown so much that, it was stated in the article that more than 900 Cathedral High School students are required to buy ipads for the school year and if they could not afford them then there was scholarships being offered. One positive side to using this advanced technology is that the students are more educated on the new technology then teachers are and they can help when its needed. Also in the article it explains how colleges are moving away from the new technology. It states that in the future there will be more online classes for college students rather than students living four years on campus and taking all their classes in a classroom.
