I'm not a teacher, and I've never been opposed to technology. I just don't see why technology and classical ways are supposed to be oppositional. One doesn't have to cancel out the other; they can be compatible.
Just because I started out with a manual typewriter and have used every generation computer since the early 70's (not including the one I made in junior high), doesn't mean I'm against the latest and greatest computers. If money were no object, I wouldn't mind getting a new computer every time one came out. Right now, I'm keyboarding on my MacBookPro, which is a far cry from my Tandy with the magnetic tape programs. (I took BASIC, COBOL and FORTRAN in college, so I know a little bit about programming and debugging.) My neighbor comes to me with her iPad problems after the Geek at BestBuy couldn't fix it (which I did fix). I'm not a Luddite. That doesn't mean every time something new pops up we have to throw out the old stuff or the old ways.
