Technology is a helping tool. It's not useful if the information in it isn't...
YES! There are so many benefits to having technology in classrooms. Using multiple modes of teaching can only help ALL students be enriched.
Take PowerPoint for example, it allows you to put anything on a slide giving you total control over creativity; however, getting lost in the frills of creativity can put content in danger. If the material is irrelevant and unhelpful the technology tool can't do its job.
