INTRODUCTION
Technology is having an impact on every aspect of modern life. Computers control
our telephone routing and the engines in our cars. Washing machines can decide when our
dishes and clothes are clean. In my opinion, it is time to more fully integrate technology
into the educational settings since skillful use of technology supports the development of
process skills such as, higher order skills, adaptability, and collaboration that are essential
to success in our rapidly changing information age. I believe in Dewey’s words that if we
teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow (Dewey, 1916).
Technology allows us to better serve the diverse learning styles of our students and
educate them for a wider range of intelligence. Everybody has different learning styles for
meaningful learning but teachers cannot represent all the styles in a traditional classroom
environment. However, with the flexibility and help of the technologies, we can design
learning environments in which students can manage and construct their own
representations of knowledge in their minds.
