School Technonogly

In the story from 2 cents worth by Mr. Dave the governer of Pennsylvaniais trying to make many of the core subjects such as English, Math, Social Studies, & Science will receive new top-of-the-line equipment. This equipment includes one laptop per student desk, a teacher laptop, a printer/scanner, imaging software, imaging software, productivity software, a web cam, an electronic whiteboard, a projector, up to, three digital still cameras, up to five digital video cameras, wireless network servers and technical support. I it is important to have some of these things but not all of them because the money the school makes doesn’t always have to go towards all of this stuff. The money can go towards expanding on the school or a new weight training facility. It is nice to have a laptop and those things but a Math room doesn't need a video camera or imaging software because what are they going to use it for? All of this equipment is going to cost over $ 200 million dollars and I don't think most of this stuff will be used depending on what class you are in.
