Nine Excellent Reasons for Technology in Education


In this article by John Page on the website Tech and Learning, he gives nine reasons that teachers should be using technology in their classrooms. I liked his ending summary, "If education is about knowledge and intellectual skills, then information technology lies at the heart of it all. We have only just begun this transition. School will eventually look very different. Get ready." I believe we are still at the beginning of an exciting transition into a new realm of education.
