After reading this chapter, I thought about the percentage of students who graduate from high school. I knew that there were many students who drop out, but the number of graduates was ridiculously low. Another thing in this chapter that I liked was the Performance Based Assessment. I liked how they mentioned how lower income or poorer schools can help their higher level students be challenged. By integrating technology into their classroom, it allows their higher students to have an individualized curriculum such as AP classes. This allows the students to be challenged and still learn the same materials as their peers. This would be creating new curriculum to accommodate the "gifted" so they are able to learn. It is amazing to see the many ways that schools can cope with new technologies.
I would love to use technology in my classroom because I will most likely be teaching to the majority level of the students. To reach those who are higher level or considered "gifted" this would be a good opportunity to allow them to explore what is out there for them and have them be challenged.
