From a K-12 standpoint, I agree with Denis Hylinka's statement regarding the
equation "computers = technology".  As a technology coordinator for a public
school district, it is a constant battle to convince administrators that the
best tool for the job *may not* be a computer (in fact, teachers are pleading
for televisions, VCRs, and even filmstrip projectors; however, those are not
the "hot" tech items of the present time).  AECT needs to promote itself as an
organization that advocates effiecient, effective, and appropriate use of
technology, regardless of the equipment involved.  As I recently tried to
explain to an area superintendent, the fact that I build a house with an old
hammer vs. a new hammer doesn't matter, the bottom line is that the house has
been built.
