Why Consider Technology?
-
Not all students have computers at home. It is up to schools to use their resources to close the digital divide.
-
State and national guidance call for greater use of technology for instruction and assessment.
-
An increasing body of research shows that technology positively effects student achievement.
-
Technology has tremendous potential to motivate students by giving them hands-on, authentic learning experiences.
-
To become fully literate in today's world, students must become proficient in information and communication technology, including its safe and responsible use.
-
Maximized educational technology can provide expanded opportunities for student-centered learning, flexible pacing, critical thinking in real-world contexts, and regular communication between home and school.
-
State and federal funding for technology has dropped in recent years, and Kentucky has fallen from first or second in the nation on most measures of technology to forty-eighth.
