Digital Schools

A digital school I believe can both be dangerous and helpful. They can be helpful for projects and the students ability to learn at their own pace. The reason why I believe digital school as a whole can be dangerous is it teaches students at a young age to rely on a machine for everything they will ever need to do. It decreases their interaction with students and their teachers incredibly. Computers in general can be very useful for researching alone as well as many other things, but there are resources available for these needs in most schools today such as computer labs and libraries. I understand that the way education is going these days is towards digital schools and using the computer more I just hope that schools will utilize the resources they already have before requiring every student to have a laptop which to me seems unnecessary. Developing skills on a computer are very useful and should be taught because those skills will be needed and necessary as we progress into the 21st century. I believe it is equally if not more important to continue to involve kids in verbal discussions, projects and interactions with their peers and teachers. The cost of technology can also be very expensive and somewhat out of reach for many students in different schools.
