Students quite often see core subjects as pointless , with no meaning to their lives. Technology,used as a tool within the school system, would enhance academic programs and broaden the base of the existing technology programs. Technology Across the Curriculum proposes and has proven to bridge the gap between technology and academics . There will be plenty of room for interpretation and modification as access to technology varies from school to school. Currently, our society has many technologically- advanced resources at our finger tips, but our students are being cheated access to them.
Technology is a tool as any other tool -invented throughout time.
It is not the program. We do not teach technology , rather we use technology to teach. There is a new Renaissance in education and technology is leading the way. The computer is the focal point of the technological revolution, and we as educators should be in tune with this demand. Technology Across the Curriculum is the tool proposed to provide this direction -but educators still have to be taught how to use it by those who are prepared to handle the demands.
