Reaction to Todd Oppenheimer's article

Tedd Oppenheimer mentioned that technology can rather have a negative impact on students’ success when it is used constantly in schools. Schools today are forgetting about the basic fundamentals that are essentials but rather are more focused on how to advance their schools technologically. Schools are shortening physical education, art, and music to increase time for computers and other technologies, and spending more than enough money on technologies while it should be used for other classroom and school materials and equipment, such as books, tables, chairs, etc. Students should be able to be active and moving around in class being interactive rather than staring at a computer screen all day. Schools and classrooms should never forget the basic structures as a classroom should have a teacher, for a person-to-person interaction, and books rather than both the teacher and the books being replaced with computers and other technologies.
