Which tools are best?

Having concluded that there are expansive types of technologies, ranging from very simple to very complex, now comes the question of what works the best. Sure, all technologies must make the completion of a task easier,to some degree, but which ones are going to make the biggest difference? This question becomes especially relevant when being brought up in relation to K-12 education. Parents, teachers, and school districts want to ensure that their students are able to access the very best of whats available. Having the most current software, programs and devices become a competitive factor for schools, with parents choosing to send their kids to the school they think will provide their students with the biggest advantage. Regardless of what schools can or cannot provide, there is still a lot to learn about what really works best in the classroom. Teachers themselves must be willing and able to incorporate new tools into their lessons.
