Technology can be a vital tool in all curriculum areas. Technology does not subordinate the basic skills and knowledge that are primary to education. Computers and other technologies are used to help students learn and teachers teach. Cross-age activities and flexible grouping enrich learning experiences for all students. Students benefit when they are allowed to guide their learning.
Teachers are more effective when they become role models and facilitators of learning.
Students develop responsibility by participating in the process of planning, implementing and evaluating their own learning and use of their own time. It is necessary for students to learn about other cultures and to assume global responsibility so that they may become responsible citizens in a society that will become increasingly interdependent and interconnected. Individual learning styles vary. Therefore, instruction and learning experiences should be designed and presented in a variety of learning modalities. Technology can enhance and assist in addressing individual learning styles.
