Teachers’ breadth and depth of knowledge about academic subject matter will remain important, but the increasing availability of resources and expertise online will heighten the need to assess how effectively teachers help students find and access such information. In addition, teachers’ facility with using technology and integrating it into their curricula will become another outcome to assess.
Predictor: Kozma, Robert
Prediction, in context:In 1995, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology commissioned a series of white papers on various issues related to networking technologies. The department convened the authors for a workshop in November 1995 to discuss the implications. The following statement is taken from one of the white papers, “Issues and Needs in Evaluating the Educational Impact of the National Information Infrastructure,” by Robert Kozma and Edys Quellmalz of the Center for Technology and Learning at SRI International. They write:”Teachers’ breadth and depth of knowledge about academic subject matter will remain important, but the increasing availability of resources and expertise online will heighten the need to assess how effectively teachers help students find and access such information. In addition, teachers’ facility with using technology and integrating it into their curricula will become another outcome to assess.”
