Notice, the title says, “teaching with technology,” not “teaching technology.” This is an important distinction to make when planning a lesson. There are times when the teacher is going to have to teach the technology, but face it. The majority of the students in any given class probably have a better handle on the technology than the teacher. This being the case, technology becomes a very powerful learning tool in the hands of the student. Often times, they just need the permission go get started.
Don’t get caught up teaching every in and out of a computer application before letting students use it. Give them the basics, and turn them loose.
Let them learn.
