News: Is technology forcing out traditional teaching methods?

Is technology forcing out traditional teaching methods? Addressing this question is the focus of a recent article by Matthew Lynch, chairman of the department of elementary and special education and an associate professor of education at Langston University, in Langston, Okla. In the article, Lynch suggests that the use of technology in the classroom may be having some unintended consequences for students and teachers. He writes that with students accustomed the instant gratification provided by technology, teachers "must find ways to keep students interested, but not completely abandon tried-and-true methodology." However, he cautions that it remains unclear which traditional teaching methods should remain.
