Using technology in the classroom

Trying to figure out when and why it is important to use technology in the classroom, I discovered a web page that presents different articles that may help future teachers to know the value of this device.
I would like to highlight the three tips that are presented in one of the articles that you can find in the page which I am going to post at the end .
The article refers to "three tips on Integrating Technology", it claims that teaching with technology, it is not go to the classroom and turn on a computer, the teacher needs to have an intention and prepare the task beforehand. 
The first tips are:
 Plan ahead; the writer said: "the teacher has to be involved in planning, and takes into account the three T's; how teaching can be improved, what technology will be used, and how time will be used more efficiently."
Try something new: It is importat to use different devices and pages to engage students.
Become an educational designer: "teachers are more like designers, who get to choose and develop what kinds of content their students access and which technologies they use."


Here is the link where you can read about this topic and many more:
