Why Technology?

So, throughout these last few weeks I have been focusing on how to use technology in the classroom. I think the biggest thing that I can take away from these last few weeks is.....you ALWAYS need a back up plan. It seems that throughout the last 4 weeks technology has failed, caused frustration, and tempted me to throw my hands in the air and just give up. I am not sure to what extent I will use technology in the classroom, it seems to be more of a headache than helpful....
