technology for all? for what purpose?

I am part of an honest-to-goodness focus group for technology at the high school where I teach. I asked a number of questions: Will the technology reach all of the students? Will the technology be relevant? How many students use computers at home?

It's enjoyable to get some input. I almost like feeling like I could influence the direction of things.

I sometimes wonder what anyone knows about education. Just take the trouble makers out of the equation and lock them up with some good books. Sound good? Use the technology to provide the food and water for their journey.
