                Used to discuss different views on how technology evolves and enters the classroom. Also used to point out that there are no absolutely correct techniques when it comes to proper use of technology in the classroom. Works like a disclaimer.

                Used as a counter point argument. Gardner had trouble learning to use technology in his time as a student teacher as it proved to be distracting. He also compiled statistics involving how often students used technology, age of teachers, and several other topics.

                Used to obtain a working definition of educational technology. Also served as a pseudo-counterpoint, as it discussed the ineffectiveness of past research in the field. A cautionary tale.
