Where is the technology revolution in education?

Today technology is making an impact in all sectors of the community. Micheal Rusell talks about how technology has impacted the business world and he also talks about the impediments that have limited the use of technology in today's schools. Today the use of technology in our world has doubled in the recent years. Schools on the other hand is still in the process. Despite the increases of computer uses, education has been largely unaffected by computer-based technologies. Most teachers still stand and deliver a curriculum. Micheal Russell depicts the impact that technology can make in education. Resources could be limitless, community could be reached, and communication could be enhanced through technology. The education sector must push and push to to catch the technology trend of today so that our students can learning Basic Life skills.

I agree with you Charlene when you talk about are schools not ready for Technology Revolution in education. Our public school system I believe does not understand the importance of technology and the benefitial skills students gain. I also believe that teachers still deliver traditional education because they lack the proper technological training. If this were different Guam would be on the revolution train.
