- modeling software promotes the understanding of math and science
It is important to identify what technologies are being used in the classroom, and for what purpose. Each technology is likely to play a different role in student learning and should not be treated as the same.
The article emphasizes that educational technology, "compliments what a great teacher does naturally," extending their reach and broadening their students experience beyond the classroom.

I agree with your article, there are many applications that we use in our classrooms. Good one!
I agree that technology "compliments what a great teacher does naturally" because a great teacher can't expect technology to do ALL of the teaching for them.
pete- great job.
I love the statement that technology compliments a great teacher. Teachers need to become technology experts whether they like it or not, just like the subject matter they are the subject in.
