The beginning of the twenty-first century, the world following the revolution in information technology, also causing a purpose is to accelerate the education information into the information superhighway and the construction of the wave. Rapid development of Situation to information technology in all aspects of education area, has a change in the lives of teachers and students in the original space. Students feel increasingly dissatisfied with the existing knowledge, new things, new ideas and desire. Competition impacts on our education, educational challenges of the future. Technology transforms the learning environment so that it is student-centered, problem and project centered, collaborative, communicative, customized and productive. One of the most powerful uses of technology in education is to tailor instruction to students' individual learning needs.
Technology can provide the means for students with special needs to communicate via email and use the Internet for research, and can also help teachers accommodate students' varying learning style. Gifted students can work with their own pace and explore subjects in more depth than the basic curriculum. The powerful tools of technology allow every student access to the vast resource of information about the world.
Technology can also analyze and provide immediate feedback on performance, and can suggest modifications in instruction where necessary to improve student achievement Technology used in these ways leads to outcomes that tend to be difficult to measure. The difficulty results not only from rapid changes in technology, but also because many existing assessments do not adequately capture the skills that this technology enhances, such as critical thinking, other higher order thinking skills, writing, and problem solving. As a result, studies examining the impact of students learning “with” technology are far from conclusive. Nonetheless, some studies exist that illuminate the conditions under which technology can improve student learning.
Education technology can help develop a broader range of assessment tools in order to measure defined educational objective and to link assessment to ongoing instruction. When access to information becomes interactive and available on multiple levels through technology, students are able to deepen their knowledge, investigation and inquiry according to their needs and interests. For example, if a college district defines an educational objective of developing students' ability to collaborate, then assessment should reflect and measure that objective.
However, technology can monitor and measure a student's collaborative and teamwork process and provide immediate feedback. Likewise, technology can help provide different kinds of assessment to serve diverse student needs. The program is structured into several separate modules, which are created in Macromedia Director environment. Modules are inter-connected and share global variables. The advantage of this solution lies in possibility to develop every module separately. The modules are then integrated into application. Such concept is supported within the Director. Project includes one special module root, several main modules and several auxiliary modules. The connection between main module and auxiliary modules is shown in Fig. 2. It is the module, which is using all auxiliary modules and that, is why it is the good module for presentation of communication within application.
The purpose of networks in classrooms is not to merely amplify what already exists, and key research questions must not be constrained to how to make the same classroom activities occur faster, become less expensive or take place over longer distances. Today's teaching buildings and classrooms already orchestrate social interaction for learning. Networking, however, offers the potential for the formation of new social structures and new ways of interacting. Modern network teaching buildings architecture is a high efficient teaching system as shown in Fig. 3.
