  1. Well, as a 6th grader I sometimes like using the internet/tech. in school. I do not like having a book on a kindle or the internet but on paper. I like using it to learn and games on a smartboard or in technology class. I also enjoy using it for things like research.

  2. My school is not like that. We are aloud to use computers, but we are not aloud to use ipods to help us. I think it's sad that in 2016 China we be the leading country in English. These schools might not have a good PTSO like we do to help us get money.

  3. I have only been at this school for about 6 months, but so far it has been great! The teachers are very kind and highly educated. I can tell they are very expitienced and I can trust them to teach me. I know I am in good hands when it comes to my education. The technology in my schhol is good. We have computers that we ahve fotunate to have and smartboards that the teachers use and sometimes the teachers show educational movies realted to what we are learning! I feel these technology appliances are very helpful during my time at the school.

  4. I feel that this video was very inspiring to learn more about technology. In my school i feel that we usually use technology on a regular basis. Also alot of my teachers use smartboards. I still wish that all of my teachers had computers in thier rooms because only my science teachers do.

  5. I feel inspired by this video and it makes me want to learn more. This movie should be shown to many schools becuase it shows kids to challenage themselves to work harder. This movie shows kids what their furture could be if they don't try. They could not graduate and they would not get into a collage. When u try, there will be rewards.

  6. Many of or RIS teachers are fine with ususing technology, for example they show us helpful videos online. However, I would like it if more of our classes for each of us.

  7. I have Mixed feelings about this because I feel that most my classes teach us about how to survive in the outside world.Because we are getting into an society so reliant on technology.

  8. Most of my teachers at RIS sometimes let us use technology for projects. I think that instead of sitting at desks all day, we should get up every once in a while and be creative.

  9. In my school we use a lot of new technology. We use it so much. I think instead of using smartboards we should use the chalkboards that we already have.

  10. My life in this school has been short I have only been here for seven months. The teachers here are use a lot of technology we use smart boards and computers. I feel somethimes we use to much technology, and we are tring to fix or use the technology instead of learning what we need to. Will it just get worse. Although our teachers are very educated it does not show when all we do is use videos and go on interactive websites.

  11. I feel that in my school we have the right amount of technology. We have computer classes, smartboards, media centers, adio books, and much more. This is great because every day our generation is becoming more involved with technology. By using technology we broden our minds and create new experiences. I like using technology and when I do, the results are better.

  12. I feel this movie should be produced to all schools in the country. Our school does a great job with techonolgy. Our has a class called Real World Tec. We have been taught a selection of things! Although we have been tought these things our teacher dont take in to consideration how much we learn in this clas and i feel althought we may not know every thing in the world about technology we need to take these things we learn not just in this class but in outside of the school and with our other teachers too.Our generation has to learn that this technology is wating for us to use it and susceed.

  13. In all of my classes except for gym my teachers have projectors and/or a smartboard. I feel that we use a lot of computers and modern technology. In my computer class with Ms. Friedman I am learning to use most of the microsoft office programs and other programs (e.g.Photoshop). I like learning using modern technology to learn because it makes classes fun and exciting.

  15. Hi. When I saw this vidio, I thought about how most of my teachers have always encouaged the use of the computer be have always warned me about how dangerous it could be. I belive that everyone should have the right to learn.

  16. I feel that in my school technology is important. All my teachers have smart boards and laptops and we use them often. In our school we have enough technology but other schools don't it is important they get more technology.

  17. In my school we use computers, smart boards, and high tec calculaders. I think we should write more things on paper and use our chalk boards. It will save aton of power
