Weaving computers & multimedia into the curriculum

This really put it all in prospective for me. The idea of more dictation throughout the day that is then transferred to an e-mail that the parents can see and the child that can associate his verbal words with written words is an exciting example of technology!Bringing parents into the classroom without them having to be there is a beautiful idea.Less paperwork, more opportunities for those who do not have access can at least be caught up with technology.I believe that more computors need to be put into every classroom and should be a mandatory part of the curriculum.
Tech at Home

Before viewing this video I had never heard of the government program known as "Tech at Home" that provides hardware and support for lower income students in an attempt to level the technological playing field. I would be keen to find out more about the scope of this program and see if it is possible to introduce this program to families in my area.

Old Footage

If you pay close attention you will see that much of the footage on this video is dated from January, 2002. Is this an indicator of how far behind schools are NOW?!
