In today’s world, technology skills are needed to compete in a new global economy. A new generation of digital learners demands different teaching methods. Unfortunately, our public educational system lacks the preparedness to provide students with a 21st Century education. Technology in Education, a service learning project, facilitates a variety of available technologies for the classroom while analyzes historic and socioeconomic factors that also influence the changes needed.

• “History” provides information about the progression of technology and its practical applications for teaching and learning.


• “Faculty” explains the lack of technology, faculty training, and research about the development of new pedagogies in our higher education institutions.


• “Teachers” looks at the technology skills of pre-service teachers and how current educators incorporate new technologies into their classrooms.


• “Administrators” uncovers the role of school administrators in facilitating or obstructing the implementation of new teaching methods that emphasizes the use of technology.


• “Economy” deals with the socioeconomic factors affecting the lack of technological resources in public schools and its implications for widening the digital gap.
