technology in the classroom

Instead of teachers deciding whether or not to use modern technology in the classroom, I think schools should mandate that teachers use some type of technology over a certain time span. I remember some teachers who would never use technology because they were uncomfortable using it. As a result, the students were the ones that suffered. Technology brings something new and exciting into the classroom and often intrigues students. Schools should give the teachers options about the technology they use, but overall, they should be required to use it. Everyone always says technology is the way of the future so students should be introduced to it as many times as possible.
