Technology enhances education The use of technology in classrooms has been extremely useful, but critics say it can isolate the teacher from the students. Layton is working on implementing real streaming audio recordings of lectures into the courses. But there are skeptics of Internet use in the classroom.
Some critics say the Internet can be a distraction from learning or isolate teachers from students.
I could run into one of my students on the street and not even recognize them. Others say that teachers can waste class time and veer away from their lesson plans if they don't use the web effectively. Searching the web can be a waste of time, sifting through thousands of non-related sites or unreliable information. I look to the future to see if it will be an effective way to learn.
