According to a chapter in a new book, it is not enough to put modern computers and educational software in schools; teachers must also be trained and provided incentives for integrating technology into their lessons. <\/p>\n
The chapter, by Gregory Sales of Minnesota and Masa-Aki Emesiochl of the Republic of Palau, appears in a new book from UNESCO\u2019s International Institute for Educational Planning that provides an international perspective on the role of technology in school improvement. <\/p>\n
The chapter examines the case of Palau, where despite very high numbers of computers in classrooms, teacher use of technology in instruction remains low. <\/p>\n
The book, titled Adapting Technology for School Improvement: A Global Perspective, can be downloaded or ordered from the IIEP website at www.unesco.org\/iiep. <\/p>\n
Gregory Sales is president and CEO of Pacific Learning Services Inc. and Masa-Aki Emesiochl is the director of the Pacific Regional Technology in Education Consortium at Pacific Resources for Education and Learning. <\/p>\n
