teachers with that complex task. This article examines the complexity of teaching and suggests that in many
ways technology does not necessarily make the task easier, but rather more difficult. The additional considerations a teacher must engage in when thinking about using technology as both teaching and learning tools are
explored in the three stages of teaching: pre-active (planning); interactive (classroom events) and post-active
(evaluation). This article was co-authored with Dr. Marcella Kysilka and Dr. Sharon Schepise.
