This document discusses the role of technology in curriculum delivery and trends in education. It notes that technological innovation is rapidly developing and changing education. Three key trends are identified: 1) a shift from teacher-centered to student-centered learning, 2) moving beyond just delivering facts to cultivating different types of intelligence, and 3) increased use of information and communication technology (ICT). ICT is already influencing education and its impact is expected to grow rapidly with more affordable computers available to schools. The primary roles of educational technology are to upgrade teaching and learning quality, increase teachers' and students' capabilities, and broaden delivery of education outside of schools.

It can easily be observed that technological
innovation in the multifarious fields of commerce,
science and education, is fast developing such that
it is difficult to foresee the technological revolution
in the millennium, inclusive of educational changes.
For certain, however, technological changes in
education will make its impact on the delivery of
more effective, efficient and humanizing teaching
and learning.

3 current trends that could carry on the nature of
education in the future

to student-centered approach to learning.

2. The broadening realization that education
is not simply a delivery of facts and
information, but educative process of
cultivating the cognitive, affective,
psychomotor, and much more the
contemplative intelligence of the learners of
a new age.

3. And possibly the more explosive trend
is the increase in the use of new
information and communication
technology or ICT

Already at the turn of the past century, ICT in its
various forms and manifestations has made its
increasing influence on education , and it is
expected that the trend will spend up even
more rapidly. Propelling this brisk development
is the spread of the use of the computer, and
the availability of desktop micro-computers
affordable not only to cottage industries,
businesses, and homes but also to schools

schools.
 Increasing the capability of the teacher to
effectively inculcate learning, and for students
to gain mastery of lessons and courses.

 Broadening the delivery of education outside schools
through non-traditional approaches to formal and informal
learning, such as Open Universities and lifelong learning to
