In 40 years of computers in the class, we've discovered that tech in the classroom doesn't help with anything.

It could, but only when used in moderation and only when it isn't designed primarily as a tool to line pearson's, microsoft's, and apple's pockets

My kids had to bring laptops to class. So far (3 months in) they've used word and typing.com.

Honestly, they've learned way more programming at home. I mean more than the zero they've done at school.
