Mattie Byrd's List: Instructional Technology

Many of our existing educators do not have the same understanding of and ease with using technology that is part of the daily lives of professionals in other sectors.

This gap in technology understanding influences program and curriculum development, funding 
and purchasing decisions about educational and information technology in schools, and 
preservice and in-service professional learning.

Whether the domain is English language arts, mathematics, sciences, social studies, history, 
art, or music, 21st-century competencies and such expertise as critical thinking, complex 
problem solving, collaboration, and multimedia communication should be woven into all 
content areas.
