Technology for All

The modern world of education is more than the old 3-R's.  It means staying current with developing trends in technology. No longer is it sufficient to provide written material even if it is enhanced with graphics and charts. Today's students crave interaction with their coursework as much as they do in their everyday lives. Text-heavy content can dull the attempt to present fresh new material. Cliche graphics no longer stand the test of time in a world of nano-bites, and nano-seconds. Time is limited and attention spans short when it comes to actual time on task, so educators need to be mindful of how best to fill those precious study minutes with valuable content that is as "hands-on" as it is content filled. Like human beings, education is ever-evolving. Technology need to make sure it keeps pace and educators need to make sure technology is one of the sharpest tools in their toolbox.
