Considering that I'm writing this blog post for a class called Technology and Topics, I would have to say Absolutely!
Technology has opened the door to so many things that we have never been able to even comprehend before. Using smart boards seemed like a futuristic idea when I was in grade school, and now even it has become obsolete in some schools.
We can now connect with people instantly across the world instead of writing letters, hoping they don't get lost in transit...and translation! Instead we can come face to face with multiple countries and learn together collaboratively. It's simply amazing.
We can even link computers together so that everyone can have a hands on experience with the classroom (Join.me Try IT! you won't be disappointed I promise). Plus look what that one choir director did... he connected people from all over the world to create a global and virtual choir.

I think that by having basically the world at our fingertips, technology has definitely changed and possibly improved the way we teach. This is true especially for this generation who is so reliant on technology.
