The rapid expansion of information and increasing opportunity to access it is impacting not only business and the economy, but education as well. Information technology offers far-reaching benefits to students, teachers, parents, and business partners. To succeed in today's high-performance environment, students need to develop more than basic skills of reading, writing, and speaking.
Technology provides tools for accessing, sorting, interpreting, and querying information.
It is a vehicle that allows students to evaluate, synthesize, and create information. By using technology and integrating it into the curriculum, we can offer improved learning opportunities for students. Technology can change passive learning to active learning. It enables in-depth studies and adds a whole new dimension to projects. With access to multimedia technology, students can hand in a homework assignment that is much more than a piece of paper.
