Introductions
Schools, however, are seen as the great equalizer in the technologically enabled society. Until every home is "wired," the school can provide access to the benefits associated with the evolving electronic age. The connection of schools to the "ubiquitous" networks enables retrieval of an exponential body of resources—virtual libraries. Moreover, all types of curricula are available, regardless of student/classroom locations, both in subject matter as well as educational medium (e.g., multimedia, simulation). Similarly, the use of network discovery tools serves to equalize the exposure of students to a wide range of resources and events that many would not otherwise be able to experience, such as "virtual" museums that can be accessed through multimedia systems. The advantages for teachers and for curriculum development are realized through the ability to access information resources from classrooms and to communicate with other educators and resources throughout the nation and the world.
The use of IT also permits increased parental involvement through the ability to monitor a student’s progress on a day-to-day basis via electronic postings of homework, timely messages from and interactions with teachers, etc.
Trends on it
No one knows the full impact of the current information technology and networking revolution, but the experiences of organizations and individuals who are already "connected"—using the tools and resources offered by technology and communications—suggest that it is likely to produce fundamental change in our social fabric. These changes may not all be positive if basic access and public policy issues are not addressed and resolved. The overarching question is whether appropriate investments in and use of information technology will lead to greater prosperity.
Thought
This is now the one(1) issue of our current trends
coming to school and attending the class would be enough as of now
for learning and apply on daily works.
