Educational Technology: Without Why, How Is Irrelevant

This document summarizes a presentation by Brent Coley about using educational technology effectively in the classroom. Coley argues that technology should not be more important than the teacher, and that it is irrelevant to discuss how to use technology ("how") without establishing a clear purpose or reason for its use ("why"). He then provides examples of how he uses various technologies like websites, podcasts, videos and social media to connect with students, help them prepare for class, and allow them to share what they've learned.
