Classroom Technology for Dummies

Does the internet and technology really offer help in the classroom or is it just a nuisance? Some would say that using technology in your cirriculum will keep the students interested and create in your students an appreciation for technology. Others might say that it is just a big pain and offers more outlets for frustration than learning.

As far as I am concerned, technology is an integral part of today's society. I feel that everyone should know, and to some extent needs to know something about technology. However, I believe that the technology should be related to your cirriculum. If you are just using technology to become experienced at it, it is a waste of your, and more importantly your students time. If you can find some program that is related to your field and you would like to tech it to your students, more power to you; otherwise just leave well enough alone.

Short, sweet, too the point. I like it. Oh, and the part where it actually makes sense; I like that too.
