Technology can have a powerful effect on the
education of our youth. The development of K-12
technology standards, state testing of technology
proficiency, and the increasing numbers of computers
in homes and classrooms reflects the expanding
relevance of technology in current society. This
analysis is based on data from a random sample, which
used a researcher-developed survey instrument. These
data reflect how math and science technology, levels
of teacher proficiency, and amount of student access
are used in elementary classrooms. In addition, this
manuscript chronicles teacher demographics, software
preferences, and teacher proficiency levels. A
complete list of software titles and websites used by
teachers are included in the appendix. Professionals
in the education field who are inspired to improve
education with technology will find this book
enlightening.
