Technology Interactions

Technology in the schools means:

•Students develop skills for life long learning

•Improved communication between schools & parents/community

•Community use of instructional technology

Technology educational (TE) studies indicate:

“TE activities appear to reach a wider range of children, perhaps

as many as 75 to 80%, while many of the regular classroom

lessons and activities appeared to captivate only about 20 to 25%

of the children. “
