Digital Texts Leading Us Into The Future

After reading articles, seeing usages in schools, and discussions, I am still stuck on the ideas of digital texts.  One side is that they are very helpful with students who are learning impaired, struggle with reading or writing, or have seeing problems.  This is all helpful in aiding these students and the teachers curriculum, but what about the other ways of learning.  All types of learning need to be done in order to create repetition and understanding of a topic.  This can be done through reading, listening, group work, work sheets, or other comprehensive activities.  So it is important for a teacher to use this new technology but to also find ways to help a student hands on and to still take part in other forms of learning.  Another down side is that some of these technologies can get expensive and it can be hard for a school to supply students with the use of these or not enough for all students; how do you decide who will get to use them then?  I have seen students listen to tests through mp3 players because of their low reading level. This turned out to be a very good thing that was more of an aid in reflecting information then helping teach it.  Also a part of me who is old school gets tired of reading on computer screens and so that is when hard cover books are nicer.  Either way there is always two sides to every thing and all types of technology usages depend on the diversity of students and the situations present.
