B. Students use concept mapping software to help them organize information for a research paper. C. A first grade class practices math facts while playing Number Munchers in the computer lab.

If the technology is being used to support the learning, then I'd say "Yes." If it was "How can I use tech? If we play Number Munchers/use concept mapping software, then we'll find some way to make it learning" then I'd say "no." Learning comes first.
