Blog #13- Research Plan

As mentioned in blog #11, I'm planning on doing my research hyper-text essay on technology in the classroom.

Topic: Technology in the Classroom


Purpose: To inform teachers on technology that can enhance the quality of education of their students.


Research Question: What technologies are out there that can provide a better learning environment for students? How will school districts be able to afford these technologies? What types of technology are available to teachers at various grade levels?
