When will we know that  we have  fully integrated technology into our curriculum?
When we “stop thinking and talking about technology and instead think and talk about curriculum.  Always start with  the question, ‘So  what do you want to do?’  NOT     ‘What do you want to do    with this technology?’” Will Richardson
It’s only a tool! Knowledge does not lie within technology; technology is only a tool that helps to unlock the power and the promise of learning.” S. Kajder, 2004
