Cuban- I cannot believe how many teachers do not use technology in the classroom, even when they have access to it. Maybe computers aren’t appropriate for all projects, but they could be beneficial for many. I know that it is difficult to have access to technology for many schools due to funding, but if you have the technology, then you should use it! I believe that technology should be used in all subject area classrooms. It can be very beneficial and also a great way to hold student attention and keep them interested during a lesson.
Russell- I did not realize how much the federal expenditures for technology in the schools has increased since 1995; $729 million is a lot of money! I do believe that technology can affect teaching and learning in a positive way. Technology provides access to opportunities that can expand student learning. There are many tools and applications in a computer that can enhance a lesson plan. I also believe that students are more interested in the lesson when technology is involved. All teachers should be exposed to new technology instructional methods and be able to implement them into the classroom.
