A comment on the videos

The videos both show students in dire need to use technology in the classroom.  I think the situation of technology not in the classroom is a case of in with the new and out with the old thinking of the boards of trustees that are actually running the schools.  Taking a step back it is obvious that the members on the board are digital immigrants.  With that being said, can the schools adapt fast enough to obtain the return on investment and maintain profit margin.  The students on the video are ignorant to the fact that institutions are business structures.  Unfortunately, the intent of the school thought of as a business really means that the people who are making money do not care if a student is educated.  In fact, it would make more sense if the cartel of schools decided not to change at all but continue to raise tuition costs.  In summation schools to not change because they are not willing to change.  There really is no such thing as a Magnet school system because of the unwillingness to change as a whole.
