I want to share the position th National Council of teachers of Mathematics has taken on the role technology in teaching & learning mathematics. The following appeared in the May/June issue of their New Bulletin," Technnology is an essential tool for learnig mathematics in the 21st century, and all schools must ensure that all their students have access to technology. Effective teachers maximize the potential oof technology to develop students' understanding, stimulate their interest, and increase their proficiency in mathematics. When technology is used strategically, it can provide access to mathematics for all students." It also point out that technology can't replace the teaching of concepts, computation or problem sovling skills. I agree with their position. What do you think?

I think that technology enhances instruction - it doenst replace it. It's a tool, a lot like a pencil or a book, not something unto itself.
