Technology and Education

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how Ted McCain and Ian Jukes offer many opinions and suggestions on technology and education in their book, "Windows on the Future: Education in the Age of Technology." The paper contends that among the most valuable assessments made by McCain and Jukes is the need for students and teachers to look beyond technology for answers, even in fields like graphic design. The paper also asserts that although their arguments are compelling for the inclusion of technology in the classroom, they are rather shortsighted in discounting many traditional methods as obsolete.

From the Paper:

"In pushing technology on education in this book, McCain and Jukes are addressing educators rather than students. The authors want educators to prepare students growing up in the "world of data explosion" with the skills they need to succeed. Obviously, this sounds good. Preparing students, especially those in fields like graphic design, is important so that those students can access the programs and technology resources that are applicable to their field."
