With the decreasing graduation rates and low test scores, leaders in America must find something fast to help our local schools.Malina Oak,seemed to have found the missing piece which will fill the gap between the kids and teachers within the classroom. According to Malina Oaks, "studies have shown that children conversant with technology shows improvements in their writing,reading,and math skills."(Oak,p.2) America is now a technology their be out of touch with society, if one know how to use technology their be out of touch with society.

I believe the article gave very useful information. Technology is a major part of the average citizens daily activity. Therefore, it would be very beneficial adding learning into their daily routine with something they love to do.
