My Very First Blog

Just getting started. There are many advantages and disadvantages to technology in the classroom. But I am of the persuasion that technolgy is a good thing for improving the quality of the learning experience.

Let us begin by each submitting one advantage and one disadvantage of technology in the classroom. Please would yall do this for me? I will start.

Advantage:
Exponentially increases access to information resources for student learning.

Disadvantage:
Can lead to a dependence on flashy media presentations that lack curricular substance.
