Technology in the classroom is it just to be Paper Free.

I have been in many classes that praise their technological advanced in education. The main thing they all have in common is the teacher will use shared power point slide shows to keep notes “Paper Free” and students use a Word Processor to submit their assignments. Is this a truly advanced use of technology? I think it is great to be paperless, but that there is more to incorporating technology than making students use digital notebooks. We need to teach students to think and research critically, not just type versus write their notes.
