    One problem that these schools would encounter, however, is the lack of funding to purchase the computers.
  • John Racki on 03 May 10
     
    It is a good thing the cost of computers continues to drop. Hopefully that will coincide with the drop in funding.
  • Desiree Haislett on 05 May 10
     
    I don't think that computers are going to drop that much, but I sort of agree with you John. If the price of computers drops enough, there just might be more wiggle room in the overall school budget.

    I don't know how much a computer will drop in price anymore, but what is truly remarkable is how much the price of a personal computer has dropped in last 10 years. I remember purchasing a computer 10 years ago for $2000. Now I can purchase a computer for $500. That to me is a remarkable drop in price.

  • Iowa’s public universities are requesting more than $200 million for building projects on their campuses, but the Iowa Board of Regents is asking why new buildings are needed as online learning is booming at the state’s three public universities.

      This shows how big educational technology is becoming. The fact that schools aren't willing to build due to online classes is an amazing step forward for online education.
  • The university plans to get $70 million in state funding over the next five years for the project with the rest covered by private donations.

      The amount of money the state and government could save by utilizing online learning is quite large and could even help the debt crisis.

    This article talks about how Iowa public universities are seeking money for building but meeting resistance since online education is being used more than ever.

    I like how this article examines the overall cost and benefits that online education has. As a student who has taken online classes, and enjoys them, this article was awesome for me to read!

    I like that is article talks about costs in it. I feel like everyone thinks technology is so great to have within the classroom but people tend to forget the cost of all that technology is not cheap.

      Here it talks about the monopoly in ed tech
  • Higher education startups have already found that elite universities and their tightly knit communities of academics are certainly not an inviting field for cost-cutting, potentially job-threatening startups. But K-12 education is an even more complex animal, governed by larger teachers’ union and a web of state, local and federal funding and regulations.

      This talks extensively about the monopoly on tech ed involving universities and communities.
  • Riley Montgomery on 27 Sep 13
     
    This article is interesting because it shows how small startup educational tech groups are being stopped or shut out by big monopolizing university used, educational technology groups.

      Kids find learning more fun with technology, but many find distracting games or apps to utilize during learning.
  • strategic deployment is a suitable and sensible alternative to abundance
  • Deliberate use leads to efficiencies, cost savings and customized learning opportunities

      This may be true for some students, but you will always have a few who will still find ways to play games during work time.
  • Discernment - wise and thoughtful decision-making - requires the suspension of absolute belief long enough to consider risks and then prepare risk management plans

      If every school would asses their risks with the incorporation of technology, money could be saved and funds could be used towards various technology programs or other areas in the school.
  • Bandwagons thrive on blind allegiance and unquestioning loyalties

    This article describes how schools should determine the uses and quantity of technology in their classrooms. Proper planning and risk management should be completed prior to equipping the school with possibly unnecessary technology.

EETT Eliminated in 2011 Budget - 0 views

    The article talks about a proposed US budget and Obama wants to eliminate the EETT budget down to zero dollars. Now, if this passes, I am afraid that teachers and schools will be forced to pay their own ways to meet the technology standards without the aid of the federal government. Teachers will soon be expected to perform miracles, get your ticket early for the best seat. (/sarcasm)
