There is no question that technology may have a positive impact on education. This post looks at two research studies that support the value of technology in areas such as blended learning, digital fluency, critical thinking, project-based learning and much more.
But there is a flip side to this. Consider these two concepts:
* Learning from computers
* Learning with the technology
Take a moment to think how you would define these two concepts. Are they saying the same thing, or are they proposing two different ways of learning? The post discussed these two concepts before listing 15 times you should not use technology. Below is a list of three of the items. Click through to the post to read more.

* When it decreases interaction
* When it reduces the chance of failure
You may find that you do not agree with all the items listed, but you will be challenged to think about how you use technology in your classroom, and perhaps find some new ideas that you will implement in the future.
