1. The following prompt is based on the accompanying six sources.
Introduction: Much attention has been given lately to the ubiquitous presence of information technologies. Our daily lives seem to be saturated with television, computers, cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and MP3 players, to name
just a few of the most common technologies. Many people extol the ability of such technologies to provide easy access to information and facilitate research and learning. At the same time, however, some critics worry that the widespread use of information technologies forces our lives to move too quickly. We encounter images and information from the Internet and other sources faster than we can process or evaluate them, and even though electronic communication has been enhanced, both the quality and quantity of face-to-face interaction is changing.
Assignment: Read the following sources (including the introductory information) carefully. Then, in an essay that synthesizes
at least three of the sources for support, evaluate the most important factors that a school should consider
before using particular technologies in curriculum and instruction.
