To address William Klemm's claim that technology has damaged the
educational process; I highly disagree. Technology has forced teachers to
focus more on the quality of their curriculum and on learners needs. No more
talking heads or long lectures. Students are demanding educators to teach in
a way that is beneficial to the student. That means we as educators have to
change our habits and use what ever tools necessary to motivate our
learners. Technology is one of the tools that assists educators in bringing
top quality education to students. Keeping in mind that the substance of
education is the message, not the medium.
