Technology in the Form of Internet Use

I found a most interesting article titled "Integrating Technology in the Classroom" and thought that you all might want to take a look at it. A few weeks ago we discussed the use of the internet and the benefits it can provide students in a classroom setting...I felt that this article further explores that topic. Granted, I don't agree with everything said. For instance, it starts out right away stating that "research is the number one reason to use the internet in education." I think this is soooo sad that that is the extent of his initial reaction to internet use within the classroom. There is much more potential for learning and technology than just research! And it's somewhat depressing to think that many teachers may limit students' exposure to such a tedious use of technology.
