- This is my 33rd year in education. Prior to beginning at Luther, I was an elementary teacher, guidance counselor and principal. My wife, Jane, works as a media specialist in the North Winneshiek and Decorah Schools. My oldest son, Nathan, is a graduate student at UCLA and my youngest son, Ben, is a senior at St. Olaf College.

I think the lesson is exactly what the researcher left off with. "More study is needed, more funding is needed." One of the greatest lessons I learned from working as a Technology Facilitator in a Cedar Rapids area school was that technology is a waste if it is not carefully applied.
As an example, several school districts have moved to purchasing Interactive White Boards for every classroom. For a few teachers, these tools are a great benefit to their classroom. However for most, the IWB's are either a glorified projector or not used at all (to the tune of 1-5k a piece from the tax payers).
I use technology where ever I can in my classroom, but this is because I have the training. For teachers without the skills to quickly execute technology based processes, the "new way" of teaching can be oppressively time consuming.
