Why technology?
The document contrasts two teaching approaches: one by Phoebe, who avoids technology, leading to disengaged students, and another by Thea, who uses technology to create an active and collaborative learning environment. Thea's students are motivated and engaged, benefiting from accessible resources and opportunities to participate. The author encourages teachers to embrace technology to enhance their teaching and foster student engagement.
