Using and keeping technology working in the classroom is one of those never ending jobs. However, with all the budget cuts coming, it appears it will be less of a job. While I understand that cuts will have to made in most areas, I have an issue with eliminating such an ever needed position in a time of such a technology rich society. With no one help maintain and demonstrate how to use the technology, many teachers will abandon using the technology as it quickly becomes outdated and unreliable. But, the real loss is the injustice the leaders are doing to the students. In a time where the students are craving for the use of technology in the classroom over just listening to their teacher talk, we are going to go back to "the good old days," because that worked for the administration so it must still be good.
The good news is that the creative students and teachers will not let this stifle them and will find new and creative ways to still incorporate technology.
