The increase in worldwide computer usage and the need for computer skills in today's workforce have pushed the US government to create guidelines, such as the Core Curriculum Content Standards, to ensure that students are prepared to meet the demands of the twenty first century.

Maintaining a citizenry that is well versed in the STEM fields is a key element of the United States' public-education agenda.

Through the implementation and integration of Web 2.0 computer technologies into the classroom setting, students are able to have new authentic and meaningful learning experiences.

Another advantage of using technology in the classroom is its flexibility and adaptability to differentiated learning.

Learning styles and technology tools

Hi all


Learning styles can benefits learners if they are well taught, and once you realize that the style and the technology you are using is working then stick to and try to find our styles that you can use in the classroom.
Students must have ability to make their own decisions; to direct their own learning and take advantage of the technology and tools so that they improve learning. If learners are exposed to these tools at an early age, they grew up with it and when they reach high school they are able to work on their own without any assistant. That is what we should promote. Most children need to be taught how to work together and we must discourage positive interdependence. Learners must be able to learn on their own.


How does the learners benefit from using technology and apply the strategy taught by their teacher?
