Those of you still asking why can get a clearer understanding of the need to embrace technology, here are 5 reasons for you to consider. My favorite is #2, "the power to engage."

This article keeps the reasons and rationales simple and Ms. Walsh states that teachers don't need to be experts on every tool and type of technology. You can also create a PDF of the article if you want to share it with colleagues. A PDF file takes away the "extra" stuff on a page and helps you keep it simple.
I hope you take a few minutes to engage with this article and see if you are hugging technology, for the sake of your students.
As always, let me know what you think.
