Technology Integration

After reading an article on technology integration from the New York Times it was interesting to see how administrators and teachers from all over the country have different views on the subject.  There is a district in Arizona that despite pumping millions and millions of dollars into technology is not seeing test scores rise.  Some argue they are still learning more efficiently and are better off because of their technology competencies.  There are writing teachers that struggle with the battle of technology.  There are certain advantages to writing with pencil and paper (more personal).  Yet, many of the students benefit from the instant and efficient ways of editing their work.  There are also teachers seeing results in increasing engagement through the use of clickers.  These technologies continue to entertain and engage yet are they truly increasing student achievement?  The debate continues.
