This article was about a school that had its own technology team. The school consisted of a lot of poor Latino students who were not interested in school at all. A teacher decided that using hands on media will teach the students more than a text book would. It talks about a girl who had the choice of being a top cheerleader or being on the technology team and she chose the technology team. It talks about how the program requires the students to do a lot of planning before they are allowed to use the equipment. They have to make a presentation and convince the teacher that they should be given permission to use the equipment.
I think this program is good ways to introduce technology in the school especially in a poor area were students don’t get to use cameras and video equipment at home. I also agree with the teacher in the article when he talks about how he remembers the things he actually did in school verses the things he studied. I think you learn more when you work to produce something then you do just studying something.
