Some traditional educators may still view student access to technology as a privilege, but it is not. Today, technology is necessary for learning to be accessible, real, and relevant in the modern world. The college, careers, and citizenship for which our students need to be prepared require the use of technology. Instead educators must know how to empower students to understand how to use technology as a tool of engagement to support real learning.

If newer technologies can foster creativity in students then educators must seriously think about how they can incorporate them into their classroom teaching strategies. If this imbalance isn’t a cause for concern among educators, it should be. When students don’t feel engaged, their education suffers. Technology supports creativity because it is a medium that requires interaction, unlike the one-way participation of an activity such as watching TV.

When I first started working in educational technology 40 years ago , the discipline was very new and none of us really knew where we were headed with it, but it was advancing rapidly. You could say we were pioneers in the field of technology supported learning. The technology we used was fairly simple, and we were still years away from networked computers, personal technologies and the Web. Perhaps the pedagogy for educational TV had yet to be developed.
