The+history+of+technology+in+the+classroom

The history of technology in the classroom is not long. A lot of teachers are teachers that have been teaching for awhile. They are seemingly stuck on their old ways. They see their technic as not broken since it has worked for so long. A lot of the teachers do not want to change their lessons and methods of teaching because they are about to retire and do not want to learn anything new. Technology in the classroom was for the longest projecters. The computer technology was taught by the libarians because that was the only place in a school that computers where found. As technology began to get more advanced computers began to be added to curriculum where students had to pass one computer class but the class only delt with typing in word processing. Then computers started to be added to science classrooms for research purposes. The use of technology is really just beginning. The history is short but the future is bright. Technology in the classroom has progressed a great deal but as of late I feel the progress has slowed do to the economic situation of the country. It once was a wise investment to contribute to the technology of education and it still is, but money isnt flowing into the schools by donations and grants like it once was. Once our country recovers from these down times, technology in schools will grow at a very rapid pace.
