ABSTRACT
When Bill McKeachie and Charles Brewer began their teaching careers decades ago, mimeographs, overhead projectors, and reel-to-reel tape recorders constituted innovative educational technology. I doubt that they could have imagined the plethora of technological tools that eventually would be at their disposal. The question of how to integrate technology into the introductory psychology course has been debated for many years. Of course, issues about how to utilize educational technology transcend the introductory course, but in psychology the dialogue on technology has centered around the introductory course. This is because its huge enrollments make it easier for teachers, colleges, and publishers to justify the significant investments of time, effort, and money that are often required to launch new technologies. Hence, I reflect on how we should harness the Internet for our teaching endeavors in introductory psychology.
