Although technology has been influential in education for decades, it has changed significantly during the last 35 years. Access to a wide range of resources, most unimaginable until recently, has enhanced the classroom experience by completely changing the way teachers and students work. For someone who began teaching in 1969, it was essential to be skilled in running movie projectors and reel-to-reel tape recorders, showing filmstrips, using record players, operating opaque projectors, and typing ditto masters. None of these skills are useful in today's classroom. Today's teacher can create and revise tests on a computer, saving hours of their time. Teachers can search for lesson ideas, artwork, and historical information on the Internet, which enhances and expedites lesson planning. E-mail has made communicating with students, parents, and colleagues almost instantaneous. Printers and copy machines have replaced ditto masters and mimeographs. The old movie, slide, and filmstrip projectors have been replaced by a variety of easier-to-use video and DVD capabilities. Teachers can play CDs and download music, film clips, and slides to be shown through LCD projectors or on smart boards. Previously, students' research was limited to available library sources, homework was handwritten or typewritten, and such simple tools as Wite-out did not exist. They even practiced their math problems on chalkboards! Today's students can do research from the Internet, create PowerPoint presentations, and edit films digitally. Homework can be completed on computers and submitted electronically. While the desks may not have changed very much, the classroom is a radically different place than it used to be.
