1. With the insurgence of the Internet and computers into today's lifestyle, school systems are being encouraged to incorporate new, modern tools into their classrooms. Do you, as a teacher, use computers and/or the Internet in your classroom or in preparation for your class? If yes, how?
2. Some opponents to using these new "tools" are afraid that they may deter students from properly learning the 'basics', e.g.: reading, writing and arithmetic. Do you see technology as a help or hindrance? Do you think this is an area that needs to be further developed or researched before it is accepted 'open arms' into the classroom environment?
3. What, if any, changes do wish to see regarding technology in the classroom (more/less emphasis, more training or access, more availability, etc.)?
