Technology is a great tool. However, I do believe that it is very important how teachers use it in their classrooms. Some teachers give their students iPads, iPod touch, or a computer just to keep them quiet while they work with small groups or respond back to emails all day, which is very unacceptable to me. I think technology is the best tool that is out there in the classroom that help students learn and share their knowledge with their teacher and classmates. As previous stated in the article, technology should not just allow us to do things in a more engaging way; it should allow us to do new things that we thought were not possible. This is an amazing article that all future teachers and current teachers should read.
