Abstract
This paper explains that, today, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a growing need for technological literacy, but it is unclear how technology education teachers are making decisions on classroom practice based on the "Standards for Technological Literacy", which focuses on what every student in grades K-12 should know and be able to do in order to be technologically literate. The author states that the study will address the issue of assessing standards-based training needs through a critical review of the scholarly literature followed by a survey of what 7th to 10th grade technology education teachers in Arizona know about the standards, how they are using them and what the need for standards-based training. The paper relates that a Likert-type scale will be used to determine the acceptance and use of the STL and to measure the perceived needs of standards-based training.

From the Paper
"To date, thousands of technology teachers, science and mathematics teachers, and other educators and experts from around the country have collaborated in an effort to identify precisely what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should be learning about technology. This group, together with content specialists and representatives from the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), reviewed Standards for Technological Literacy and recommended modifications and additions. The resulting document, supported by both NRC and NAE, defined the study of technology as a discipline and provided a framework for individual teachers, schools, school districts, and states or provinces to develop technological literacy in all students. The research to date indicates that when schools provide students with a quality education in their primary language they provide them with two things: knowledge and literacy."

Technology in the Classroom, 2008.
An Instructional Technology Plan for the use of technology in teaching maths.
1,338 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at an article "Enhancing Curriculum and Instruction Through Technology" by S. Rigeman and N. McIntire that outlines some ways in which computer technology can help students in middle and high school classrooms bolster their math skills and give classroom instructors a tool with which to be more responsive to the varied needs of their pupils. The paper discusses some of the limitations inherent in using the Rigeman and McIntire math program and presents an alternative Instructional Technology Plan. The paper supports interactive computer technology which allows students to move at their own pace and in an individualized context.
From the Paper
"To begin with, Sally Rigeman and Nancy McIntire (2005) state that Iowa's Area Education Agencies (AEA) district superintendents met recently to discuss how technology could be applied to the augmentation of classroom instruction. 17 of Iowa's 21 AEA districts chose to participate in the implementation of a "technology-rich, research-based, National Science Foundation (NSF)-designated 'exemplary' mathematics program - Cognitive Tutor Algebra I" (Rigeman & McIntire, 2005, p.31). The other four districts stayed with their existing math programs (all of which were NSF-approved) and acted as controls (Rigeman & McIntire, 2005). The Cognitive Tutor Algebra I curriculum used 6 research -based strategies in shaping student learning: "real-world situations; mastery learning; cooperative learning; direct instruction; group and individual presentations; and student use of technology" (Rigeman & McIntire, 2005, p.31). Within the Cognitive Tutor Algebra I classrooms of the participating districts, teachers actually guided classroom instruction about 60 percent of the time while students used the other 40 percent of the time to progress sequentially through sections of the Computer Tutor program at their own pace; the program, apparently, is also geared to accommodate the individual needs of students, as well."

Abstract
This paper looks at the advances in medical imaging technology and how these advances have made it necessary to have university programs devoted entirely to medical imaging technology. The paper also looks at why this technology can so easily be used inappropriately and how focusing on its potential and promise can help solve this problem.
From the Paper
"Technology and technology applications in the medical fields are proliferating faster than proverbial rabbits. The advances in digital transmission of data, together with application of MRI technology and micro circuitry have created opportunities for the medical profession to gain more accurate information, analysis, and prognoses than ever before. MRI machines produce images which are clearer, and virtually three dimensional for the medical staff to use to accumulate diagnostic information. In previous decades, developing the talents to read imaging devices was included in part of broader based medical disciplines. But today, universities have advanced BS and MS degrees in medical imaging technology."

Gender and Technology Theory, 2008.
An essay arguing that modern technology is not contributing towards closing the gender gap between men and women and that it is the social constructs that encourage gender specific technology that must be changed.
985 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, rather than being gender neutral, modern technology is actually quite gender specific. The paper then sites several examples of technology that support this contention and suggests that the technology also seems to imply that women are less competent or less able to operate technology as well as men and need adapted technology. The paper concludes that technology has not 'liberated' women in that technology remains a gendered subject and that, if we want to advance the prospects of women, we must first create cultural change, as technological advances do not automatically promote gender inequality .
From the Paper
"The creation of gendered technology has continued at a strong pace, no longer a domain of household gadgets or curling irons but a realm that includes reproductive technologies serving women, as technology supporting child-bearing women. Women are unwittingly helping a new technology sector from which males profit in the growing numbers to have children later in life, to engage in sex selection, or to demand children through relatively to very high risk cases. This technological enterprise can perhaps be seen as post-industrial child-bearing as a new industry carrying on from the industrial era. In sum, technology has not 'liberated' women in that technology remains a gendered subject. Those who expected something different are advised to trace the much longer history of gender as a socially constructed phenomenon. Cultural change must be created to alter ideas of gender, as opposed to hoping that technological advances will progress the prospects of women."

Abstract
This paper discusses the adoption of new technologies to address the challenges of the delivery system in the adult education programs. The old and new technologies both are useful in the process. It explains how education must be so designed as to incorporate the most suitable technology that provides effective learning, cost effectively, and assisting people in quick learning. The suitability of the technology and its appropriate use in the educational process enables the learners to attain higher skills necessary to cope with the growing universalization. The writer states that it is therefore imperative that the choice of technology should be made with due care and is backed by proper design and planning. Concurrent assessment of the performance of the adopted technology should be under taken at regular intervals, and supplementation should be made for ensuring the better integration of the technologies. Technology cannot be avoided in the name of economy. Adult education is considered to be the most neglected area of education in terms of the financial allocations and, therefore, cannot be neglected in exploiting the available technological potentialities.

"The transition of present day world is seen towards a more liberal and universal one. The individuals are required to know the ways to keep pace with the dynamism in order to cater to the needs of dynamic world along with simultaneous interaction for productively keeping hold of the associated systems. In order to make available an efficient educational atmosphere and cater to the educational needs of the common individuals in a cost effective and suitable manner it is essential to find out the better approaches. Improvement in the literacy mission is possible through technology. The technology assists in the construction of educational atmosphere that is best fit for meeting the requirements and goals and for making available new avenues to those that have no access to the previous learning systems. It encourages the students to be more resourceful and pioneering. The technology has reformulated our vision to deal with information, laying emphasis on self education from conventional teaching, making education a process through out life rather than confining to a particular period."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The management of information technology systems in organizations has emerged as one of the most important aspects of information technology in this digital era. Although problems with information technology systems are not a new phenomenon, their impact seems more pronounced. The organizations of today face unique challenges in the information technology systems area unlike those of the traditional project management of the past. The incessant continued drive toward eBusiness means that information technology has become ever more critical to the success of the organization as a while. As a result, information systems project managers face more pressure and visibility over failed initiatives. Organizations are typically dealing with chaotic, technology-influenced projects that generate knowledge. The quality of knowledge-generating projects is also most heavily affected by the skills and intellectual capital of the project team. "

Abstract
Today, on the verge of the twenty-first century and in the midst of the Information Technology Revolution, there is an unprecedented level of interest in both industry and academia as to how technology functions in terms of human interests and social organizations. One of the primary themes of Arnold Pacey's "The Culture of Technology" is that both the design and the practice of technology are embedded in human society and culture. As will be seen, he rejects the theoretical model of technological determinism in favour of a human-centred perspective on the development and application of technology.

Technology Wins Wars, 2007.
This paper asserts that it is technology that wins wars.
1,149 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that appropriate technology used properly wins wars. The writer uses different examples to show that, whether taken battle by battle or over the course of a campaign or an entire war, winners employed appropriate technology properly, and that made the difference. The writer points out that examples from World War II and the Vietnam War clearly show that the effective use of appropriate technology does win wars, while the reverse has the opposite effect. The writer also shows over all that the strategic use of superior technology is ultimately the deciding factor in winning wars. However, in the case of Vietnam, the wrong technology was used improperly and resulted in a mess from which the U.S. still bears the scars.
From the Paper
"World War II covered a huge geographical area, from Great Britain to the South Pacific, including Europe, Asia, parts of the Middle East, Africa and small portions of North America. Over the course of the war advances in military technology were employed as fast as they could be developed. Adolph Hitler had planned this war for a long time and, for some time, the German U-boats rules the seas and their fighters and bombers devastated their enemies from the air. This easily explains why the Germans started off a step ahead. America tried steadfastly to stay out of the conflict, having adopted an isolationist view, but were drawn in when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. This devastated the U.S. Navy, nearly destroying the Seventh Fleet, but the citizens pitched in and rebuilt faster than anyone imagined could be done."

An insight into wireless technology management.
4,282 words (approx. 17.1 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 113.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a background into various forms of wireless technology and develops insights into how organizations can successfully make the transition into wireless technology strategies without causing harm to the overall business organizational strategy. It references several case studies which demonstrate how such strategies were developed and have been deemed successful or undetermined in such large global organizations as Pepsi-Cola. It looks at how these case studies provide various strategies and insights that are critical to the successful management of wireless technology, which should not just be considered a form of technology development, but should also be considered a strategic initiative that should be implemented throughout all levels of an organization, from executive management down to the production line.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Without the existence of a strong leadership core at the helm of an organization, regardless of its size or industry focus, wireless technology cannot serve as a successful strategy for growth and future development, particularly as it is such a foreign concept to many individuals who may have never had the opportunity to utilize basic technology in their careers in years past. Therefore, it is critical that executive leadership as well as middle management are in agreement regarding the direction that a business takes in relation to technology initiatives. Organizational leaders must recognize that much of their daily business activities depend heavily upon technology, particularly of the wireless form. The most common devices that are utilized in wireless technology include personal digital assistants (PDAs), notebook computers, cellular phones, and Local Area Networks (LANs). As today?s businesses continue to seek out ways to promote growth as well as revenues in a highly competitive environment, a large component of their primary business strategy should be placed in an emphasis on wireless technology strategy."

Abstract
This paper explains that the use of technology encourages new and innovative strategies to improve patient care delivery by enabling nurses to operate more effectively and continue with their jobs. The paper contends that one of the driving reasons for the increased use of technology may be an increase in patient care hours that the hospital has to face, decreased charges that can be levied, elimination of non-professional tasks that are carried out by the registered nurses and additional time that has to be spent by them for teaching patients and their families; however, there may be restrictions due to the reduced control over care for patients, concerns about the supervision of unlicensed staff and the desire to maintain the present situation

History of Technology and Its Influence on Nursing
The Values and Beliefs of Nurses and Other Healthcare Providers Influenced the Evolution and Usage Technology in Nursing
From the Paper
"In more than 90 percent of the cases, the nurses clearly stated that they had left their jobs voluntarily, and the proportion is more than 90 percent. Only in about three percent of the cases, the reasons for change was mutual between the nurse and the employer and in two percent of the cases, the nurse had been dismissed from their jobs. Clearly there is no desire among employers to dismiss nurses, since costs are involved in recruiting nurses, training the nursing staff and these costs are substantial for a hospital. Thus in spite of all the technical changes that have been going on, the reactions among the nursing staff is not very aggressive."

Abstract
This paper explains that language arts can benefit from the use of technology when teachers incorporate it into their daily instruction for such uses as providing study guides, quizzing students, enhancing the subject, supporting individual students and involving parents with their children's learning. The author points out that the use of technology in the language arts department can be especially perilous or productive depending on the way it is used and the competence of the teacher using it because language arts is a more subjective academic subject than math or the sciences and is opened to more misinformation from the Internet. The paper concludes that the use of technology in teaching has been studied from many different angles in many different manners, but the focus has rarely been on the attitudes and beliefs held by English teachers in the use of technology in the classroom. The paper includes two illustrations.

From the Paper
"The meta-analysis also focuses on writing skills for students who do and do not use computers and word processors for their writing. It determined that students who learn to use word processing for their writing needs learn better writing skills than those who do not use word processing programs for their writing needs. In light of this, it is surprising to find so much resistance in the current educational field regarding the use of technology in teaching and specifically Language Arts."
