Educators today are emphasizing the use of technology to enhance the curriculum. Technology is one of many tools we use to teach our students. It enhances our teaching by providing an alternative method for the delivery of instruction. It improves student learning by providing different avenues for students to explore, and gives us a tool that helps address students' different learning styles.
