Digital technology is becoming increasingly commonplace in K-12 education, and many researchers argue that it will save money and transform schools into more effective institutions.[1] With technology having such a heavy influence in our society it is no doubt that schools are looking into technology to teach students. Meanwhile, despite the debate over the effectiveness of computerized education, all-online K-12 schools are proliferating nationwide, and enrollment in online courses is soaring.[1] Technology can make anyone's life much easier and it is proven that it can help students in an effective way. But in the digitized world of 21st-century education, computers are increasingly taking on the teachers' role. Computers can now “hear” students speak, for example, correct their pronunciation and evaluate their progress over time, says Michael L. Kamil, a professor emeritus at the Stanford University School of Education.[1] Many experts claim that digital education is the future. “If we want our kids to be prepared for life after school in the 21st century, we need to consider technology a basic element of public education,” said New York's Deputy Chancellor of EducationJohn White.[1] And many schools are making it a requirement to take an online class. Digital learning has been getting a boost in localities across the nation this year. For example, Idaho became the first state to require high-school students to complete two or more online courses to receive a diploma.[1]
