The role of technology in the classroom must be carefully applied in order to have a highest value for both students and teachers.
Technology can be a great and helpful tool to enhance the learning process and engage students to higher thinking skill, however we as teaches have to be very smart in incorporating it in our lesson plans. And use it only if it will add something beneficial to the lesson.
I agree with E. Tufte that the over use of power point in the lessons plan can be “Evil” and harmful to the lesson. Sometimes teachers rely heavily on the power point presentation and forget the main point, which is the content and how to deliver it without too much distraction to the students. Many times teachers use technology even when it is unnecessary and add nothing to the learning process.
