Has Technology Increased Learning?

Educational software, online classes, computers in classrooms, assignments that involve the internet, education seems to be moving toward technology each and every year. Is this the best direction for education? For thousands of years, education has turned out critical thinkers without the aid of computers or the internet. Do these new technologies contribute constructively to the future of education? Are schools that can't afford to keep with constantly-updated hardware and software out of luck? This anthology takes a hard look at the benefits and drawbacks of incorporating technology into the classroom through a diversified set of perspectives.
