Technology Education: The Transition.
Pedras, Melvin J.; And Others
With technology constantly changing, educators are challenged to integrate technology education into the curriculum. In an effort to integrate a study of technology into the public school curriculum, educators at the University of Idaho identified the following areas as representative of modern technology literacy: computers and computer-aided drafting, robotics, principles of technology, and computer numerical control technology. In order for educators to remain abreast of new developments and to present them effectively to their students, they may need to attend workshops or conferences, and then, with limited resources, try to integrate new knowledge into a traditional curriculum. Others may need to enroll in graduate programs and pursue advanced degrees. All must constantly read and reflect on professional and technical journals. The University of Idaho is working with teachers throughout the state to assist them with the modernizing of the curriculum and is presenting workshops, seminars, and summer programs on technology in the curriculum.
