The document outlines a technology philosophy for teaching. It discusses techniques of teaching that focus on individual students' skills and talents. The role of the teacher is to focus on students, provide equal opportunities, and help students improve and discover abilities. Technological literacy involves computer skills to improve learning. Technology should be integrated into the classroom to streamline learning but not cause panic. Teachers should determine each student's technology skills through informal quizzes since backgrounds vary. Less informed students can be helped through extra sessions, pairing with peers, an encouraging environment, and open lab time. Ethics of technology use should also be stressed.
