Written by Tina O'Block


Technology is becoming more and more prevalent in our everyday lives as well asrepparttar workforce. Recent studies predict that byrepparttar 109172 year 2010 almost every job inrepparttar 109173 American workplace will require some use of technology. This influx in technology has caused changes inrepparttar 109174 wayrepparttar 109175 computer is being used inrepparttar 109176 workplace and inrepparttar 109177 way computer literacy needs to be taught in our schools.

Whenrepparttar 109178 personal computer was first introduced inrepparttar 109179 1980’s, people had to learn how to operate it, program it, and utilize its basic functions. Today, people and businesses are becoming more familiar with technology and using it more as a tool for such things as information gathering, data analysis and interpretation, presenting information, problem solving, communication, etc. This technology is also continually being updated and changed to allow for more efficient and productive work, causing people to have to keep pace with this new information. In such a knowledge-based economy, knowing how to locate information quickly, evaluate this information for bias and accuracy, and synthesize and apply that information to solve problems will be needed and valued skills. Therefore, teaching students skills such as these will better prepare them forrepparttar 109180 workforce ofrepparttar 109181 21st century.

Simply providing students with technology in isolated computer classes will not teach students these necessary skills or how to userepparttar 109182 computer as a tool. After all,repparttar 109183 end result is not wanting students to simply know how to operate computers but how to use them as a tool for organization, communication, problem-solving, and research.

Technology needs to be integrated intorepparttar 109184 curriculum using an active/inquiry-based method of learning. In this method, instead of students being shown specific steps to follow to solve a problem and then solving problems from a textbook, they are given a “real world” problem to solve and must create their own strategies for data gathering, analyzing, hypothesizing and testing solutions. By constructing their own strategies, they gain a deeper understanding of problem-solving skills. By solving real world problems, students are better able to relate their learning to their own lives and similar future situations. Oftentimesrepparttar 109185 students work in groups to solve their problems which enhances students’ interpersonal skills and teamwork. They also learn to accept different perspectives, work cooperatively, and state their opinions and feelings. After all, few jobs require people to work in total isolation; therefore, being able to work with others is an important aspect of society andrepparttar 109186 workplace.
