Technology's Role in Teaching and Learning

Technology assists teachers in displaying information for students in a fun, interactive way. This keeps students more engaged in the lesson. Technology provides teachers and students with an opportunity to learn by using various technologies, such as the Internet. It provides students with tools to help them with homework, schoolwork, etc. It provides teachers with tools to help them expand their knowledge and present their lessons/information through various avenues ( e.g. Smart Board, Microsoft PowerPoint, websites, etc.). Technology is not used to its fullest extent in today's classrooms because teachers are not familiar/comfortable enough with technology to use its various forms.
