Education: Inquiry : Technologies in the Classroom
Why use technology?
New technologies appear in the lives of our students regularly and many spur creativity, innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration. These tools can contribute to learning environments, especially in support of inquiry-based learning where ideas and problems are investigated, analysed, and presented to others.
There are technology learning standards identified by the International Society for Technology in Education for students and teachers around the world.
