Interesting article about how some teachers and professors are relying too heavily on their technology in teaching their classes.

I would argue that it's not the use of technology that is the problem. It is HOW technology is used. Powerpoints have their place - but they are not a true implementation of student-centered learning. Online, self-paced, math tutorials may be effective in some cases, but are definitely not the only way to test student knowledge. We've got to start thinking about teaching and learning differently and not simply transfer what we do in the face-to-face classroom to the online environment. Just my two cents.

Thanks for sharing this information!

I was curious about using technology with primary grades. This article gives the benefits of implementing technology with younger kiddos and also gives some ideas.

The Internet has become an important tool in the classroom.

Research is the best way to find out if something works. This is an interesting study, which by the authors own admission, shows us there needs to be more research done in this area. The blended classroom, which offers both technology based learning and face-to-face learning appears to be get the best results.

Important to think about pros and cons.
