Tech in Education:
The impact of technology and the use of the world wide web is seen in all areas of life whether it be industry, business or education. When we talk about education this is one area where this technology is used to such a great extend and continuing. However how effective has it been in the recent past in integrating this technology and how soon are we going to integrate the known available technology. My understanding is that most of the time materials that are up and available for K-12 education is mostly individual enterprises of people in the field.
This begs the question is the technology available too expensive to use effectively. Let's look at the investment needed for the whole process of using technology. The two major components are hardware and software. The next expensive aspect is training to get the educators trained. Togeather looking at the overall senario what we see today is there is a heavy cost involved in really integrating the newest technologies for the teaching learning process.
It is not pertinent to overlook the fact that the young people of today are more adept at using the world wide web and feel comofrtable working with them. I greatly believe that this aspect is a hook to still keep them interested in school.
