Education and Technology computer

Connecting Education and Technology

The "Education & Computer Connection" is a valuable source of information for educators, parents and students who use technology and the internet to enhance learning. As educators, we must be positive role models for our students. Students must see teachers as proficient users of technology in the classroom. Teachers must provide opportunities for students to access the Internet and to develop high-quality activities with hands-on use of current technology.



An Award-Winning Site

Technology in the Classroom:
The use of computers, technology applications and hands-on learning enables each student to tie-in your classroom objectives and make a connection to real-world applications. This methodology gives each student equal access to a world of knowledge limited only by the imagination.
