  Case: Are computers the answer?
In today's society, the need for technology is really demanding. If you do not have a source of technology many people might consider you as being left behind. Mr. Green handed out an at home project to his 5th grade students that must be completed within two weeks. The project includes information that must be found from the internet. Not all of the students in Mr. Green's class have access to a computer. What should he do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Given that students have two weeks to complete the project, internet access should be a non-issue. In that time, students who may not have access at home do have access at the public library. If Mr. Green is concerned that the parents will not take the student to the library, he could allow affected students to work in his room or in the media center before school or during lunch to make sure they are given an opportunity to find the needed information.

Comments: Great solution! Not all students have access to a computer and the parents may not want to drive. It is a great idea to give them time in class to research.

Comments: you are right that aside from public libraries, the school has computers in their library and media centers, and it is not necessary for this teacher to have it in their classroom if they don't want to. there are other ways to engage students and be relevant without a ton of computers
