Best Practices

It is recommended that teachers begin to integrate technology

into the daily classroom instruction (p. 24). Technology is

moving forward and students are becoming more

knowledgeable about the use of technology; therefore,

supporting the fact that technology is needed in a formal and

informal education setting.

Conclusion

Although many put different emphasizes on learning

through the use of technology, they fail to see the benefits

that students gain. There are often students who drop out

of school, but later return as nontraditional learners

because of the availability of classes offered via

technology and the Internet. In order to continue to

increase learning, there must continue to be research

conducted to identify the effects of technology use in

education (Milheim, 2007).
