Technology can be used to create Engaged Learners who are:

• Responsible for their own learning.
• Energized by learning.
• Work collaboratively (locally and globally).
• Investigate authentic problems & solve them.

Technology should be used by teachers to teach Science, Social Studies etc. Teachers must be shown how to do this, using data analysis and other tool.
The best way to encourage teachers to use technologies is to give them personal experiences and examples of the use of technologies in the classroom and in thier subject areas.
Teachers should engage in researching authentic problems such as ‘Global Warming’, with their students.
A effective teacher rarely solves student’s problems, so as to develop independence and autonomy.
Teachers must visit workplaces to see for themselves how technologies are used there.
Teachers can use the skills of tech savvy students (both boys and girls) as aides to support them in their use of technologies in the classroom.
Teachers must be given more time each year to develop learning activities incorporating the new technologies.
