Is teaching using technology optional?

We all know a few people who are cynical about using technology - especially in teaching and all points of view have some validity.  This blog post raises the debate again.   One of the things I think about is if we ignore the activities (incl technologies) that young people involve themselves in we run the risk of being seen as irrelevant in their eyes and they will be less likely to engage and listen to us. The importance of communication and discussion can not be forgotten and if we want to advise young people about appropriate behaviors then we need to understand where they are coming from.
quote "This is not about technology. This is about connecting and sharing with others and yes, technology can be a fantastic medium for this. It is still ultimately about the relationships you create"
Technology is a great way to connect with your students!
