Today’s technologically, fast paced world is constantly changing. Has technology become a vital tool for education, or has it become just another item that educators can’t keep up with? Is technology becoming a “crutch” that allows students to avoid learning the basics like reading and writing. There are educational tools that allow textbooks and other materials to be scanned into a computer and then read the material for the student (similar to books on tape). Even if it is vital for the education of today’s students, how can educators remain on the cutting edge of technology instruction when they still are faced with trying to prepare students for successful careers and life-long learning (especially if they are not in the computer or information technology fields)? And what happens when the the technology that is taught today becomes obsolete tomorrow?
