The document discusses issues related to educational technology. Specifically, it focuses on how technology can help students meet required curriculum standards (i.e., Common Core Standards). The author notes that teachers want to know how technology integration will not detract from their lessons and how it can be used to better education. While some feel technology could hinder learning, the author argues restrictions on educational use paired with resources aligning technology with standards could help with proper incorporation. Overall, the document examines accountability and standards-based concerns regarding educational technology use.

Issues in Educational Technology
After reading the reading the required material and reviewing Week Four resources, the topic I choose to discuss is Accountability and the standards movement Educators want to know (a) how technology can help students meet required curriculum standards and (b) what role technology skills play in children's education. This comes from The Top Ten Issues Shaping Today's Technology Use in Education. This is also the first topic on the page. Accountability and the Standards Movement is important because the Common Core Standards are what Teachers are preparing students for within the statewide standards within the classroom. When using Technology within the classroom Teachers want to know that the implementation of these devices ill not deter the lesson intended for the students. Moreover, Teachers are looking for an educational incorporation of technology within the school setting. When discussing Technology in the Education Setting implementation should be in efforts to better the Education given and/or receiving within the setting. However, some may feel as if Technology can hinder the learning process. What can assist with the proper incorporation of Technology in Education is the ability to restrict the use for Educational purposes. With restriction in place, parents and teachers can work together in ensuring the student is engaged in activities and/or completing assigned tasks. Moreover, Teachers being provided with resources that encourage the Common Core Standards through Technology will assist in incorporating these Standards throughout Education Lessons.
