Most current research on the implementation of computer-based technology in K-12 education reports that technology is a means, not an end; it is a tool for achieving instructional goals, not a goal in itself. In today's world, computer-based technology is not a frill, but an important component of any modern curriculum. The factors which repeatedly appear in the literature as crucial elements for successfully using technology include the following:
- Technology is best used as one component in a broad-based reform effort.
- Teachers must be adequately trained to use technology.
- Teachers may need to change their beliefs about teaching and learning.
- Technological resources must be sufficient and accessible.
- Effective technology use requires long-term planning and support.
- Technology should be integrated into the curricular and instructional framework.
