Where to Start with Technology

Too often teachers will try to introduce technology to students without a learning goal in mind. Educators must teach the use of tech tools in the context of curriculum expectations. Technology is only a tool and should not be an end unto itself. For example, trying to teach students how to use a speech to text product without a curriculum context may be amusing for the moment but students will not learn to generalize its use to other more appropriate tasks. This is a good article that describes how to approach the use of ipads in an English class.
