Why use technology with instruction?

In a study done by Mazten and Edwards (2007), they found that “by utilizing technology in the

classroom, there is a shift toward student-centered instruction.” Technology is a catalyst

for changing the way teachers teach in a way that moves us away from old traditional instructional

methods into new instructional methods that involve the learner in the process.
