Taking Advantage of New Technology for Education

Extension educators must be challenged to effectively use new technology in ways that both take advantage of the unique characteristics of new technology and also create new approaches to fulfilling a person's desire to learn. Rather than selecting new technology based on what it can help us accomplish, we must select it based upon what it will help others--the learners-- accomplish. The needs of the learner are the key to the effective use of new technologies that support learning.
