Question

What do you say to educators say technolgy in teaching is take time or expensive?

Answer 1

They can be right.

On the other hand, sometimes technology can get a point across in seconds which would take hours of explaination.

It depends on what is being taught.  Teaching poetry with computers is not much of a win.  Teaching math can take great advantage of it.

Answer 2

Technology moving forward very quickly.  I'm not sure what you are asking, but technology must have an ever increasing place in our classrooms if we want to prepare our students for higher education.

Answer 3

To the previous poster, teaching poetry with computers can be a great motivation for students.  I have done it every year.  Using technology gets 100% participation every time - how can you beat that?

Yes, it takes a little time at first, but once you get familiar with the ways you can use technology, it makes your life so much easier!
