From the Paper:

"This includes grasping firm knowledge and understanding of the role technology plays not only in education, but also in every day living. Teachers are becoming increasingly aware of the implications technology has on student's achievement but also their teaching and curriculum development. More and more educational facilities are encouraging teachers to participate in elective and continuing education classes that highlight technology and promote emphasis on technological learning in the classroom. Teachers are more and more learning that technology can be an efficient tool for designing unique and individual curriculums that attend to the need of individual students but also enable more efficient monitoring, assessment and evaluation of student achievement in the classroom and outside the classroom (Ernst, Peterson & Taylor, 2005).
