Summarized by Signe Larson
Schools around the world are starting to integrate technology into the curriculum because technology is becoming part of our everyday life. Reasearchers believe that it is important to integrate technology sooner rather than later because it will prepare students and give them the knowledge and training they need to survive in a "highly technological knowledge-based economy". Students refine their analysis and problem-solving skills, and are able to find, process, and synthesize information that they have found online.
Technology allows students to see things visually and do experiments electronically which shows graphic pictures that help a student have a better understanding of what they are researching because it is like getting one on one help with the teacher except in stead of just having one teacher you are getting helped by many.
