City Voices Article

I thought this was kind of interesting. When I talked with Dr. Stearns and a few of my classmates about my worries of not having the resources, this is what I meant. I would really like to get students involved in something as "cool" as this. The fact that these kids get to use mini DV cameras is a superior advantage for them over other students in other districts. This article relates back to the Friedman chapter and his "dirty little secrets". Then again, everything that has to do with technology in the classrooms does! The educators in students in Buffalo are taking a step into the future. This step is one that needs to be taken by all schools across America. Resources are slim because it seems that just using overhead projectors and standard display equipment is something that a lot of districts see as "good enough". Well guess what? Their "good enough" just doesn't cut it anymore. I do believe the people down in Buffalo finally understand this concept.
