			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Technology is everywhere. It is all around us. And if you’re not able to use it properly, you are at a real disadvantage compared to those who can.</p>
<p>The good news is that the technology you’re using right now to read this article is perhaps the most powerful teaching medium there is.</p>
<h3>The Drawbacks of Other Mediums</h3>
<p>Other teaching mediums don’t offer the flexibility and freedom of the interactive online environment.</p>
<ul>
<li>Books are a one-way flow and there is no opportunity to get clarification from the author. If it wasn’t included in the book, you’re on your own.</li>
<li>Books don’t offer any VISUAL education. Written word can only get you so far.</li>
<li>School classes can be VERY pricey.</li>
<li>Classes impose both a schedule and a learning style on the student.</li>
</ul>
