News Programs in schools

News programs at school provides students with opportunities to expand their knowledge of and capabilities in programs such as PowerPoint, video editing software, and recording equipment. Of course, the implementation of such a news program provides not only technological training. Students learn teamwork, problem solving and other interpersonal skills. Students also are very capable of helping their classmates learn to use the technologies they themselves have previously learned to use. The opportunity to have students learn to use technology while providing what can potentially be a useful and informative program for the school is something that should e at least explored in a majority of school settings.

Technology intergration in the classroom

How is technology use related to school reform?
As new technologies develop, it is instrumental that schools adapt and use those technologies not only in teaching subjects such as history and math,  but that schools also teach usage of these technologies, especially when they will be useful in the careers and lives of the students. Schools need to adapt to the world as the world changes, to better prepare children to live in that world.

Why are students not actively involved with the technology already in their classrooms?
Teachers, like most people, become comfortable with ways of doing things, even when newer, "better" methods are available. Additionally, teachers may lack in training, or budget issues may prevent technology from being efficiently available.
