13- LEAD

The article, "LEAD issues 5 digital learning recommendations," expresses the need for digital learning to be a national priority for every child to have access to the same high quality digital tools no matter what their zip code or social economic status. This is necessary to ensure that teachers and students of the U.S. remain globally competitive in order to not fall behind in education performance. The LEAD Commission's 5 point blue print calls on the federal, state, local, private, and charitable sections to act on those 5 recommendations for digital learning and education technology; to solve the infrastructure challenge  by updating the wiring of schools, build a national effort to deploy devices, accelerate the adoption of a digital curriculum, embrace and encourage model schools, and to invest in human capital.

I feel that these are recommendations that need to be taken into action. All students need to have the same opportunity to access digital technology with implementation of use within the classroom. But the problem is, how does our nation afford these types of technologies in each and every school. Is it even possible. I feel that it's not. Just like not all families can afford a television or a vehicle, how can each and every school district afford that technologies that are being demanded of today's youth.
