I think the whole idea of this article, putting more technology into education to stimulate student interest, is a good one. But I think that some of the ways that they were using technology were still kind of bland. Using PRS systems in a history class to review might be a good idea for students who have trouble studying or learning the material, but I think for some students this would still be monotonous and over doing it (especially more gifted students). Students with higher ability levels might want to apply information they learned or think about it in a more abstract way than simply being quizzed on it.  Also, analyzing information about the physical abilities of cheerleaders might not be quite so engaging to students that have no interest in sports.
