For example, an instructor may restructure a lecture into a group activity, having students conduct
online research to boost their understanding. With such a vast reference tool, the students might pose
questions that no one in the class, not even the teacher himself, can answer. Many teachers and
schools choose to avoid this situation by discouraging the use of computers in a well-organiz ed
lesson. Their latest shipment of Smartboards, ELMOs, or iPads stays locked in a closet as they
struggle to find the time to effectively incorporate them into the curriculum plan.
