In the midst of an information driven society, tomorrow's educational system must provide an environment where students are actively involved in learning and have access to the world's information sources. Working with information must become second nature. As new technologies become available for learning, a different kind of classroom develops. Technology serves as the backbone for these new learning environments. Through the use of technology, students experience greater access to information and resources.
Technology allows for a new vision of what is possible.
In order for our educational system to offer this new vision, teachers must continue their education. Teachers are dedicated to their subject matter but our changing times demand an expanding of those content areas to relate to the world, job market, and personal benefits. As our students are changing their learning processes to compete in the global marketplace, teachers are also changing their teaching methods. This environment has lead our children to learn differently than we did years ago. Teachers need to help students acquire a personal commitment to learning and gradually develop a self-guided interest and discipline to continue to learn.
