As I read this article I could not help but think about the vast amount of information available to people today that was not available fifty years ago. When I started high school eight years ago it was the first time I had ever been on the internet. When you compare that the here and know where I spend several hours a day online it is amazing. In the article it talks about how having so much information at our fingertips and how it allows us to make more informed decisions as well as enables us to ask better questions while spending a fraction off the time researching. This is very important when it comes to education, because less time can be spent look up information and more time can be spent learning. Wither it is a teacher looking to update a lesson or a student writing a paper it simplifies the whole process.
Why I believe that technology is a great asset to teachers it a proven fact that why teachers my have the technology available to them few use it more then two times a week. This is pointed out in a article by Les Foltes he this article talks about how if a teacher does not use the technology it does not good. This is very inportant to keep in mind because many people feel that technology needs to be placed in schools right away and want to spend alot of money to do it. However, what they fail to relize is that if the teacher does not know how to use the technology or is has habits and does not want to change it is all for nothing.
