"That way it does seem that techonology is a good thing. But it seems that so many people today seem to over use it and forget that some students learn better with paper and pencil."

Techonology in the classroom

I was wonder if techonolgy in the classroom is always good. I wonder if today we rely to much on techonology. I also wonder how much of it is good and how much on it is bad. I know that we are in a time where studenst everyday life has some kind of techonology it. How do as a teacher decide what it useful and students will learn something from and how much of it is just intertainment?
