Many
people warn of the possible harmful effects of using technology in
the classroom. Will children lose their ability to relate to other
human beings? Will they become dependent on technology to learn? Will
they find inappropriate materials? The same was probably said with
the invention of the printing press, radio, and television. All of
these can be used inappropriately, but all of them have given humanity
unbounded access to information which can be turned into knowledge.
Appropriately used-- interactively and with guidance-- they have become
tools for the development of higher order thinking skills.
