Curriculum Design and Textbooks

I believe that textbooks should only serve as a guide in creating a curriculum because of the plethora of other resources including that of the internet. Given the world is becoming more technology driven i think it is just as important to prepare students to use technology while learning language skills. My job as a langauge teacher is to of course teach langauage skills to my future students, but also prepare them for challenges they will face when using their language skills which i believe will be more technology driven. I do not believe that adults can not learn to use technology. I understand that it might be more difficult for them to navigate through the internet, but I will be preparing them for the life that is evolving around them, by integrating them into the technology field. So choosing a textbook should not be the sole reliance of a teacher rather one aspect of the curriculum.
