All professional fields, from diagnostician to dairy farmer have seen computer technology playing larger roles in their day to day functions. Among our many responsibilities as educators is the need to help our students be prepared for what awaits them in their future roles in society. Denying the tremendous importance of technology use in your classroom and as a teaching tool, is denying an aspect of your role as an educator and an aspect of student’s needs.
