"They have to be exposed directly and indirectly in many ways to such innovative and creative learning styles.Henceforth, it is beyond doubt that the learning styles which involved the use of the latest technology have to be introduced directly and indirectly in the early years or stage of learning i.e from kindergartens until the tertiary level of learning irrespectively.Accessibility of knowledge will be easy if such innovative and creative use of technology are fully provided and utilized.At this juncture, I fervently believe that the developed countries will always be at an advantage as compared with the developing or the third world countries."

I truly believe that students need to be exposed to technology as early as possible as often as possible.  I am also a realist.  I see the rural surroundings and lower income families that make up our area.  I know that a majority of my students may not have access to reliable or any Internet if they even have a computer at home.  I also see that the state is trying to over come these issues in the schools with new programs and software that will allow students to have more access and time with today's technology.  If we ever hope to improve our state we have to start with our education system
