Description
The use of technology in the classroom can be an integral part of the learning process. It allows the instructor the freedom to explore a broader range of problems, concepts, or activities. The technology can reduce the long "busy work" problems to a few minutes without diminishing any of the concepts. The problems may be real without the "nice" numbers to make the calculations easier. The student and instructor may explore several variations of the problem in a short time with little effort. The laser disk opens other possibilities to bring in examples too costly for many laboratories or classrooms. The inclusion of technology in the classroom presents many interesting challenges to the instructor and student.
