Abstract
To fully and effectively discuss the utilization of technology by educators, a definition of technology itself should be made commonly known and understood. Technology is too easily and too readily narrowly defined as using computers, or at least as using peripheral electronic hardware. While it is justifiable to include equipment of this sort as a part of the total vision of technology, to focus solely on the machinery is to implicitly endorse a sort of elitism of haves versus have-nots, and to possibly cause the general citizenry to shrug off the applications of technology in their daily lives (Puk, 1992). If this was actually the case, then technology would become contrary to the whole purpose of education.
