Technology vs Non-technology Materials

As a teacher, we need to know how to manipulate technolgy and non-technology materials. Both materials are useful in the classroom. Both materials have their own advantages. Technology materials like OHP, LCD, Smartboard, Powerpointd, softwares etc might attract the students' attention to learn. Children attention spam are very limited so we need to know how to attract their attention during the lesson.
However, we have to keep in mind that not all schools are equipped with all these technologies. So, as future teachers, we also need to know about how to use and manipulate non-technology material such as mahjong paper, flash cards, realia etc so that they can be used in the classroom replacing the technology materials. I'm not saying here that traditional way of teaching should be the last resort in conducting a lesson but we have to widen our mind not to focus only on technology materials because not all schools have those equipments.
Basically, both materials are equally useful and important. Both have strength and their weaknesses. It is all depends on us, future teachers on how to manipulate the materials so that it can be used effectively in a classroom.
