Value Added for the uses of Technology

It goes without saying that every choice we as educators make, when adding technology to our lessons, has to add value to the lesson. There are so many resources we can choose, they need to be relevant to the lesson. Just like we were always admonished about giving our students busy work, we should not just use technology because we are expected to. We need to take the time to come up with the right resource or project that will enhance our lessons. That is why media specialists and computer teachers are so important to have on the staff of a school. It's also important for teachers to have time to get together and bounce their ideas off each other and learn from each other and enjoy a little support.
