Technology plays an important role in modern education by engaging students and preparing them for an increasingly digital world. The document discusses strategies for integrating technology in the classroom in a way that enhances but does not replace traditional teaching. Some key strategies include using technology to supplement curriculum goals, giving students hands-on experience, and linking students to online resources. The roles of both teachers and students change with technology integration, with students taking a more active role in creating and sharing information while teachers facilitate projects and provide guidelines.
