This document discusses how technology can be used effectively in the classroom to engage today's students and prepare them for the future. It notes that students today have grown up with technology and have different learning styles than previous generations. While technology should not be used just for its own sake, the educational system needs to help students think critically and become lifelong learners by sorting through large amounts of information. Successful technology integration in schools requires support from administrators, trained teachers, adequate infrastructure, and ensuring students stay on task.
