September Connecticut Educators Computer Association Vol. Children need to be educated to become successful learners and to be prepared for life in the global community. The implementation of technology can aid in the education of our children.
Technology reshapes what and how students learn.
Students need to go beyond recalling large amounts of information to being proficient at retrieving information, manipulating and applying it to solve problems. We want our future workers to be able to think abstractly, problem solve, and collaborate with others to seek out creative solutions. Technology is the agent that can bring about academic success. It can provide an information rich environment that engages students in developing basic skills, communication skills and problem solving skills. CECA '98 examines and presents various methods of technology integration and instruction.
