<p>Dave, I agree that the important part of teaching students to use technology is that it is a means to an end, not the end itself. Technology for technology's sake is not what is going to push our students to a higher level. Students learn best when technology is embedded into their content standards and not just something that is added on later. I have a class set of iPads to use in my library. They are new to me this year so I'm still learning the best ways to use them. However, so far…</p>

<p>I recall only just a few years ago - the big thing on the EdTech horizon was IWBs - but now it's mobile devices. I think back to a Craftsman commercial that Sear's put out a few years ago - their mantra was "Your in good hands." - speaking of their tools. In many ways the iPad or anything apps (sub-tool) effectiveness relies firmly in the hands of the one holding it. If you do a good job helping your students see how the tool can be used in various ways- helping them use technology as a means - not an end - they'll go beyond what you have to share.
