Communication and networks are the fastest growing areas of computer technology. Adding to this growth is the popularity of the internet and the World Wide Web also called the web. Today technology changed dramatically the way people gather information, web design, conduct research, take classes and collaborate on projects.
Now we can design our web page and published to the internet to be viewed by other internet users, particularly learners. Today, communication media and net works are breaking down the walls of a classroom, allowing students to view the world beyond where they live and learn.
I think teachers need to develop web based content that would assist students to learn, get instructions, get information and allow creativity in the classroom and as well as outside the classroom. Never before has any technology opened so many opportunities for learning.
The future will bring even more exciting applications of these technologies. I think is time for our government, private business and NGO to invest their resources to future generations before there are left behind.
Public schools need to be equipped with multimedia computers and provide teachers and students with access to the internet as a matter of urgency so as to enhance learning.
Would learning difficulties be overcome by this new technology?

I agree with you that technology is of vital importance in our schools.The concern is that it seems in most of the instances the technology is the driving force or it has taken the center stage instead of the developmental needs,in these case of our schools,i.e.educational needs.
