Major Applications of Instructional Technology

Abstract

In the words of Malcolm X, “education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” One such passport for educators grappling with the preparation of their students is the use of technology applications as tools for learning. Not only will children need these tools to successfully navigate their years of formal schooling, but they will also need these tools to successfully navigate their lives in the 21st century. To effectively use these tools, educators and their students must become comfortable via an ongoing daily integration of the major instructional technology applications in the classroom.
