The purpose of this article was to give guidance to schools about the integration of technology into the classroom based solely on the observation of students who have been give exposed to or given technology in the classroom. The investigation of what is observed during learning opportunities in the classroom with a student using technology is important because only observation can ensure that that data found through methods such a surveying or interviews are correct. “Only observation of students and teachers at work can document the learning experience itself. It helps determine whether an invention has actually been implemented before a program tries to evaluate outcomes” (pg 16). What observation experiment found was that technology does help students to learn the material materials, however, it puts more pressure on the student when they are in a classroom setting because they have to focus on the accuracy of the school work assignment that is being done as well as the issue of using the technology correctly.

In this article Braiker goes into great detail to show the importance of integrating technology in school and how important it is to start incorporating this into children’s lives at such a young age. In the beginning of this article Braiker uses educator Chris Crowell as an example of someone who strongly believes in incorporating technology. Braiker then goes on to discuss the difference between addiction vs. engagement, and how many seem
