• Students will continue to use
technology throughout their lives. Technology
will continue to change and the students growing
up with it will continue test, try, and experiment
with it. Teachers will need to keep up with the
changing technology to meet the needs of the
learners.

students on projects through the internet.
The other group of students may not even be
in the same school, state, or country. Technology
allows students to explore the world from one
location.
