Technology can be a great tool in the classroom but I have noticed that some students are obsessed with their phones and addicted to Facebook.  I cannot control what students do in an online teaching enviroment, but I can control their use in the classroom setting.  When having discussions in class,  we certainly will utilize the internet or google something specific in order to obtain more information.  We might watch a colonoscopy via Youtube to visualize what we are discussing.  It can be extremely beneficial to visual learners.
