In today's fast-changing, highly technical world, few challenges are more daunting for those who care about student-centered learning than engaging students and faculty with technology in ways that matter. As a student, faculty member, and administrator, author Paul Trebian begins by saying that having worked to help institutions find paths to technology-based solutions, in a positive, engaging, and successful manner, has given him ample opportunity think about this subject. Trebian believes that it is important to note that vendors and emerging hardware and software often spark interest in how technology can be part of helping one to be successful. Such interest is good, but Trebian warns if unguided, it can result in vendors and gadgets driving the use of technology. He reminds readers to remember that technology is a tool not a problem solver. He also prefers to travel a better path which is to create a timeless approach to technology by asking timeless questions such as: (1) Can the technology help you create and maintain the overlap of motivation and active learning; (2) Is the technology going to help create, promote, and maintain active-learning techniques ; (3) Is the technology going to help create, promote, and maintain actions for motivation techniques; (4) Are you and your colleagues ready to automate your tasks as faculty; (5) Is there a tight manual process for administration, lesson-planning, scheduling, assessment, and communications; (6) How long will it take to learn how to use the technology; (7) Are students trained and ready for the technology; (8) What is the trade-off for using the technology; and (9) Will the technology realize a profit or some other form of return that is beyond money? He closes by advising faculty and administrators to be sure to bend technology to how you do work, not the other way around.
