The Internet: Friend or Foe

The Internet and technology in general are hotly debated topics when incorporating them with education. I believe that that the Internet and technology offer promise when incorporated correctly. Education cannot be "left behind" when it comes to utilizing these tools. Various programs on computers or Internet web sites can help to enhance student learning. Technology cannot be ignored. Granted there are problems that will have to be addressed. Curriculum, teaching methods, etc all have evolved and have had problems that needed to be worked out. The same applies to technology and its use in education. Technology is promising in adding a new method of reaching students with difficult topics. A problem that I foresee is students becoming too dependant on technology. Technology, when used correctly to enhance learning, is an invaluable tool to education.
