Sample Topics/Ideas for the Technology and Education Option:
- Should more assistive/adaptive technology for people with disabilities be incorporated into schools? What schools would most benefit from greater assistive technologies? Why are these technologies important?
- Should teachers incorporate social media/cell phones/computers into the classrooms? Are these new methods of communication a neglected and vital resource that most teachers are simply too old-fashioned to take advantage of? Or are they mostly a dangerous distraction?
- How important is it for students to have technology in the classroom? Is it essential to a modern student's education, or are there more important things on which we should spend our education budget?
