Why?
I think this chapter, which is probably a good representation about what the rest of the book will be like, was very demanding about the use of technology. I felt like the main passage was telling me that if I don't use technology or media, my students won't learn. Learning is not dependent on using technology, as I have learned from Dr. Grace's class, because we learn the best when our multiple intelligences are activated by a lesson. Yes, sometimes technology is the appropriate mode of teaching, although, other times it is not necessary in my opinion.
I disagree with this quote: "...Educators today MUST embrace uses of media for learning." Above is my reasoning for disagreeing with this statement.
I agree with the statement: "The mere use of technology does not constitute or guarantee good teaching." Just because a teacher integrates technology into the classroom doesn't mean they are explaining it or using it to it's proper abilities.
I agree with the statement: "We need to embrace differentiated forms of student assessment to better understand and reflect student knowledge and skills." This statement goes in very well with the book Multiple Intelligences. In my classroom, students will not solely be assessed on how well they can circle in dots on a piece of paper but rather how they apply their knowledge to the real world.
