Is it technology fault?

After reading several of the discussions about the good and bad of technology, I am surprised how many people believe that technology in the classroom is going to be the down-fall of our youth. Has the technology of the white board caused student learning to plummet? Has DVD use the classroom sent learning out the window? Has the transition from the ditto machine to the laser printer ruined the student's right to a good education? One discussion talked about taking classes to learn technology but complained that no one taught him when to use the technology. People, people, people when does it become your responsibility to seek out ways to use the new technology you are learning. When do you take ownership of technology, not as its slave, but as its master?

We, as teachers, are always updating our lesson plans, why are we not explore new ways to deliver those updates. As teachers, we should be modeling life-long learning, but when it comes to incorporating technology, for some, the will to learn just stops. New and changing technology has been here since the dawn of time; make the leap from I won't to I will.

I Think I Need Analysis

Analysis, how do you determine what is too little and what is too much?
