I believe technology can change the way we teach, but only if the teacher chooses to use technology in the classroom. The technology can exist, but if it is not used how can it change the way someone teaches?
For those teachers who do use technology in the classroom, I think it does change a teacher's strategies and methods. First, a teacher has to determine what s/he wants students to learn and then has to decide how to incorporate technology to help students achieve the desired instructional goal. The teacher also needs to consider the individual needs of each student and determine if the technology being utilized is beneficial in aiding a student's learning. Using technology for the sake of using technology is not effective if it does not meet the educational needs of students.
