The Joy of Books

OK I just discovered this video this morning, and I love it! It doesn't really have to do with technology and education directly, but I thought it was a great use of technology and creativity and still speaks to new technologies in that the end message is "There is still nothing quite like a REAL book." I completely agree!

Use of Technology in Education

Here is a quick video I found that lays out what they consider the "Top 10 Reasons to Use Technology in Education." I realize it is an ad for their products in the end, but I thought the reasons they laid out to use technology in learning were important points and communicated effectively. If you ignore the last 20 seconds which are meant to sell their products, I think they make a good argument---whether you use their products or not.


Teachers, what do you think? Are these valid points? Do you find technology helpful in the classroom? Or is it a hindrance to you?
