JUSTIFICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
Question #2: Can technology really help in completing and understanding the material from the student's point of view or is it simply another method to deliver the content? How do we squeeze technology into an already full curriculum? A lot of money and time is budgeted and spent on technology in education. How do we, or do we have to justify the use of technology?
A question posed by K. Walsh on Emerging Ed Tech in 2009
“Are you using Internet tools to engage students in the classroom and improve learning outcomes, or are you just using technology to decrease the time you spend lecturing and interacting with your students?”
