IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE TRAIN TEACHERS TO USE THIS TECHNOLOGY
THIS TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE MADE ACCESSABLE TO ALL STUDENTS
Students should be allowed to use any technology that is available in the class room. They will know what works for them and what doesn't. I would guess that they would even use it in ways that the developers of those programs never dreamed of. In the long run it will benefit both the teacher and the student.
