| Modeling digital-age work and learning is a central part of any application of technology in the classroom. By applying technology in the classroom, teachers demonstrate to students its strengths and limitations. Teachers show students how to use it, how to use it in various contexts, how to take advantage of its strengths, and how to compensate for its limitations. To do this effectively, teachers must have an excellent knowledge about the applications of technology. Because technology is constantly changing and improving, teachers must constantly study technology as a process of life-long learning. |
