It is obvious that the long range outlook for teaching and learning must include technology. The question is how much and what kind. Finding ways to engage students in the learning process and stimulate the educational experience is key to the future of our system. Most schools have attempted to keep up since the explosion of the internet. Technology rooms have become an integral part of the school building, technology TEKS have been established by the state to create standards, and teachers continue to find ways to include technology in the classroom. Many schools have hired dedicated technology personnel and created technology departments to assist school staffs with technology incorporation. Are we where we need to be? Not even close. With the adoption of the Long Range Plan for technology we are definitely taking steps in the right direction. There has been the recognition of a need and a plan to fulfill that need. Where I think we’re at right now is teachers using technology to make old processes a little easier. Where I think we need to get is a place where students use technology as a learning tool and teachers facilitate that process. Is the technology that schools have in place enough to make that happen? I would think not. In order for technology to become the way students learn it will have to an integral part of every classroom. Computers will have to be readily available for each student. Lessons will have to mostly be delivered via the computer instead of a teacher talking and students listening. I think this is not only important for our students to keep up with technology in the future but for our students to stay involved in learning. I think if we don’t continue to find ways to do this we will continue to fall further behind in the learning process.
