I think the internet and technology are an essential part of learning today. There are so many things the internet can offer. Teachers and students can find examples to support theis topics. It is also a great source of information. As seen here at Luther college, email is the primary form of communication when face-to-face communication is not possible.
With all the great opportunities the internet presents, there are also problems. In many areas and schools, there are still many students who do not have access to a computer or the internet, even at the school. Also, because there is so very much information available, and anyone can post things on a website, there is a possiblility of finding incorrect and misleading information. Technology can be a very helpful tool, but me must teach students the correct wy to use it if we want them to be successful.

I agree with your second paragraph... What if kids don't have computers at home? What if they can complete the assignment but cannot post it on the web so they get no credit? Is the goal learning about school subjects or mastering technology?
