Technology in the Classroom: Help or Hindrance?

Jessica Custer of the Network of enlightened Women (NeW) has an article at NAS.org with six considerations/questions that our expanded use of technology in the classroom raises:

1. Online searching may provide an immediate answer but students are missing out on a key part of the classroom—teacher-student interaction.
2. Does access to Google in the classroom really help students learn?
3. Does technology-based education teach anything beyond how to use the technology itself?
4. Is banning laptops in class a good solution?
5. All technology is not created equal.
6. In this hyperlinked world, how do we know what’s true and what’s false?

Here's NeW's blog post on the article.
