Using technology in teaching

It is clear to me that technology is a necessity in teaching.  Unfortunately, we face the barrier of budget difficulties in establishing a good base for the use of the most modern technologies.  In fact, newer teachers, who are most likely to want to use these new technologies are facing the challenge of even landing a job in the public school system.  If schools were funded without limit, newer teachers would have no problem finding a teaching job.  They would walk into a classroom full of all of the most modern in technologies.  Each student would have access to a computer and the possibilities of exploration in the techno-world would be endless.  The children of this generation would have advantages in the learning process that we could not have even dreamed of when we were in the public schools.  It is my belief that the schools and the districts that can invest in these technologies and use them effectively will turn out students who are most prepared to take on the leadership positions of a world advancing faster than most districts are prepared to keep up with.  If we want to keep up with the Indias and Chinas of the world, we need to make the investment now. ~Dave
