Maybe getting teachers to use the newfound wealth of technology in the nation's schools is not as dramatic as going to the moon, but for many schools it is proving just as hard. Yet, like President Kennedy said about the moon, there are reasons we, as teachers, must tackle the challenge. Technology is there, and it is our job, as educators, to use anything and everything to help our students learn. Perhaps the single greatest obstacle that teachers face is not having useful examples of successful technology integration.
