Guessing (or it is defining) the Future
Stages Of Technological Introduction
We don't know what new social forms will emerge
Our students, who will spend most of their working lives in the 21st century, will need to see the computer and related technologies as extension of themselves, as a tool as important as the pencil was for the past several hundred years.
A Vision for the Role of Information Technology
knowledge processing
Information Age Culture
New values
Changed Attitudes/Concepts
These changes are driving the need for us to view knowledge not just a body of facts but a process for acquiring new ideas
Modified Behaviors
Information Behavior Process Model
Evolving Information Handling Skills
To achieve these objectives both faculty and students behaviors must change.
The information technology productivity paradox.
no productivity gains
To achieve educational benefits from technological investments requires radical changes in faculty and student behavior
Otherwise, its "technology for technology sake."
Therefore, we need new instructional models and new learning models incorporating new tools and infrastructure

Our Challenge
What, if anything, do we need to do different to get value from our investments in this technology?
If teachers continue to teach the same way, using the old approaches and evaluation techniques, will having a fully networked environment make any difference?
If student continue to approach the educational experience the same way, using the old tools and techniques, will investing in a laptop make any difference?
