Pros and Cons of technology in the classroom

The article that I am attaching to this post is very interesting on how different school districts approach problems in the classroom.  Each situation is different, but they all came up with the same conclusions.  All data showed that teachers with the proper training on technology had students that showed postitve changes in their learning abilities.  They found that if a teacher had general training their students were less likely to succeed in this type of learning situation.  Many schools have done research and surveys to see how teachers are using technology and to see if it is worth spending the funds to make technology available for the students and the teachers.  The article is titled Technology and Acedemic Achievement by Les Foltos.
