I found an article that makes me think about what I am really focused on, is it true that technology is a neccessary tool in our teaching process? How accurate are we helping to our future professional people? the ones that right now are our students?  "There is no question that higher education is heavily reliant on information technology. Virtually every function and process in institutions of higher education is controlled or operated by IT systems — whether laboratory experiments, research simulations, classroom teaching, building management, or general administration. Researchers in almost every field are using advanced computational systems to solve fundamental and practical problems, ranging from energy to economics to medicine to the nature of the universe. IT systems are improving education through the use of feedback systems, interactive simulations, and new approaches to delivering information to students throughout the world. Although a few individuals usually spearhead any particular local IT advance, integrating these advances to benefit the college or university requires active cooperation among faculty, administration, and IT leadership, as well as significant investment in IT infrastructure." http://www.educause.edu/EDUCAUSE+Review/EDUCAUSEReviewMagazineVolume45/UniversityITEssentialandStrate/195814
