I'm about to return to the instruction ranks. I've had my CFI for 30+ years and I've taught ~250 people to fly. But none in the last 15 years. I've kept my CFI current along the way.

My question is about how much technology to introduce to new primary students. Something like ForeFlight didn't even exist during my main stint of instructing (hell - I was using LORAN).

Is it best to stick to the basics, paper charts, and logbooks at first? Is there a benefit to using something like ForeFlight from the start (especially with young tech-savvy students)?

Love to hear thoughts?
