Prepare Students for the Future

Students are the future. Technology is always becoming more and more developed. There is always concern for what the future holds. The concern for equity is related to a fourth major motivation for introducing technology--to prepare students for the future. Respondents at a number of sites foresaw a future in which both higher education and the world of work would be infused with technology. These educators argue that schools have a responsibility to give students--and especially students from low-income homes--the confidence and skills in using such technology that they will need after graduation.


I don't care what field they're in, be it factory worker, office worker, medicine or whatever. [There is no place where technology will not be used.] It's getting harder and harder to get jobs. You want your kids to get a leg up. It's becoming a necessary ingredient.
