While the acquisition of specific skills and knowledge will continue to have an important place in our curriculum, today's world also demands that students learn how to access, manage, apply, and evaluate rapidly growing banks of information.
Technology provides such an opportunity.
Computer education must provide a range of information from the basic to the complex. It must address keyboarding and computer ethics as well as word processing, database use, graphics, and data analysis. This means, however, that all staff members must be trained in the technology you are providing. While the effort required is large, the benefits realized by both your students and your staff will be much greater. Examine the ways in which you can incorporate technology to help your system achieve these standards.
