The Enhancing Education through Technology (E2T2) program is crucial to guaranteeing global competitiveness of American students, but has constantly lost money in the past several years. According to Bush’s new budget for 2008, E2T2 programs would again be cut by $273 million, holding back education-technology programs across the nation. If Bush were to follow through with his belief that we need technology to increase competitiveness, he would not cut this money from the budget. There is a wide variety of new technology that can be utilized to enhance student learning and motivation, resulting in improved text scores. There are many articles in the news about lack of technology in the field of education, but when there is no funding to make it happen, it will not happen.
