Rauch: Many of our special needs students and many of our, our limited English speaking students also need some type of technology to support their learning. And so, in order to make certain that technology is indeed supporting their learning, we have benchmarks where we evaluate the academic, really, the academic process—progress rather—of those students and whether or not the particular piece of technology is enhancing that. So we always do what we call the, the kind of like, the pre test that we all used to do to see what's the level, ah, how is the student functioning without technology, and then how does the student function within a few weeks, then within a, within a month, then within a, by the end of the school year. In that way, you know, we are able to determine whether or not that has enhanced learning—and by the way—it always does, it definitely always does.
