Technology Integration

Over the past several years, as schools work to achieve innovation and excellence in the classroom, teachers have been faced with a "technology tidal wave". This phenomenon, along with our national standards and the realization that industry needs a more technologically literate workforce, has created a new and different landscape in U.S. education. As another school year boots up, educators are finding that notebooks, blogs, podcasts, wikis, SmartBoards, and Internet connections are fast becoming the chalkboards and No. 2 pencils of the 21st Century.

"I believe it's important for young students to be exposed to as much technology as possible," says Ronan, "since the world that they live in demands a high level of technological savvy. This is not to say that they need computer class once a week. On the contrary, kids must see technology being integrated seamlessly into their course curriculum. The sooner you integrate technology into the curriculum, the better off they'll be down the line."
