Using technology to recognize students seems to be a no brainer. Utilizing programs that enables a teacher to create certificates involves little time and some creativity; those challenged in the creativity department can use ready-made programs found on the web or purchased programs. Print Shop has been around for many years, teachers have been creating and giving stickers, and providing recognition long before computers became the norm. Time saving is a definite plus to using technology. A second benefit to using technology stated on page 60, “With technology, teachers can easily make exemplary work available for the appreciation of peers, parents, and professionals across the world.” The availability of technology then moves a common practice into new realm.
I noticed in several examples that technology began the process, but in the end, there was still the human aspect. For example, a teacher might collect information using the clickers, but follows up with giving students “bonus points coupons.” Even designing a recognition program where teachers spread good news via the internet or e-mail programs still depends on a people connection where Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa verbally recognize the positive behavior. Technology alone seems to expedite the process, but human interaction is still necessary.

I like your observations about the way the technolgy plays a part in the educational process. Integration doesn't mean that we move everything we do to an electronic or digital format. Technology is a tool that can helps us reach our goals. You are not the first in the course to mention the human element. We can't and shouldn't lose human interaction. I hear concerns about this generation of kids not being able to communicate face-to-face. It is a skill that will aways be needed.
