Evolving Classroom Education: Where is K-12 Technology Headed?

     This author starts the article by talking about past technology used in classrooms. He then goes on to mention where all technology in classrooms has come so far. He then tells that even where we are, will be considered old not too long from now. He then states three different policies or ideas that will probably come to place in then near future. The first is BYOD, which is known as Bring Your Own Device, it's pretty self explanatory. The second is Natural User Interface, which is the same technology used in Nintendo Wii, Xbox Kinect, and Siri. The third is Personal Learning Environment, if used correctly, could allow students to create their own learning. The author then states that the only way these technologies can take place is if public education puts aside its limits to allow these policies in classrooms to help student learning.
     I agree that with the technology we have today we should use it to our advantages in classrooms, but I do not think that we should go too far. I do not think that schools should just push aside their limits to allow these technologies in classrooms. Maybe change their policies to fit the ever changing world of technology, but not put aside all limits. I think that the first idea, BYOD, could be challenging due to the many types of students and that not all students have access to these types of devices even with them being so seemingly easy to have. I think the second idea is a neat concept that could really allow students to further enrich their learning through technology. I think the third idea is a little far fetched. I think that students need more structure from teachers to help decide their learning and the students not left to create their own learning.
