This article reinforces many of the article already commented on in every way save one. At-Risk kids, and what I think they mean is Special Education kids benefit from authentic education with technology. To me the point here are obvious because I was one of those kids. In fact, I main-streamed myself. If schools would have used more challenging, authentic, and higher level thinking they would have helped me discover my giftedness early. Putting students in a separate classroom doing basic skills that have no apparent application to real people is a discouraging task. Technology can bring real world problems and the tools for solutions to real people.
