Technology in Schools
In today’s fast paced Information Age, there is a lot of competition in the job fields of software programming and information technology. So as not to get left behind, schools are starting to implement technology in their curriculums. As of 1999, 90 percent of all schools in the United States are connected to the internet, and the number is rapidly rising. The internet provides access to an immense load of information that can be used by teachers as well as students.

Teachers and Technology
In the past ten years, technology has revolutionized the classroom. Many teachers have been able to make use of amazing new devices that take their jobs to the next level. Unfortunately, some educators have had difficulty utilizing the new equipment available, due to either a rut they are in, or, more often, a lack of information. When no one explains to these teachers precisely what that new piece of metal and glass lurking in the corner does, it is extremely difficult and stressful for them to attempt to use it in front of students. This antagonism between teachers and technological innovations is a challenge many schools (elementary, middle, high, and even college) will have to address, simply because of the benefits offered by technology.
