Can Technology Change Education

"When we change our thinking. We can change the solution"

To watch Raj Dhingra, please look at the link below

To engage students in new technology, Turkey decided to run a program called Firefly mobile learning. The truck visits the school, the students jump into the truck, and there they will find rows of computers, comfortable chairs to sit in, and tech support on the tip of their finger tips. Everyone wants technology now a days but it seems to be rather expensive for school districts to purchase. "You can dream big and make a big impact and not have a lot of money. You can achieve a lot with a small amount of money if you know how to spend it."

Many teachers have the hunger for "Tech Candy." They believe that technology will fix everything. The thing is, technology will not fix everything unless it is used properly. If the teacher engages in blended learning then they will make the best of themselves as well as the technology. The students will work together due to the new learning, and they will become more engaged because technology is rather interesting. 

So to answer my question from before, can technology change education...Yes it can! Do you personally think technology can change education?
