I actually agree with the professor. I think that technology in the classroom is great, but if it is going to cost an arm and a leg to get without showing significant increases in student achievement then we can do without. How have we been getting by all of this time? I think we're doing just fine.
This is a good article for teachers so that they can understandt the impact that technology has on classroom and students, and to understand that just because we have these devices does not mean that we can sit back and do nothing. We have to learn to use these things so if anything its more work than we think.
