Technology in the Education arena is applied in the same way. Students, parents, and educators will use information technology to enhance and expand the traditional role of Education. I believe the basic goal of Education has not changed, that is to prepare our students for life-long learning and success in society. However, the tools and instructional methods to achieve these goals have advanced dramatically. The presence of always connected mobile devices or computers offer tremendous opportunities to students and educators as a way to complete the traditional task of teaching/learning in new and more efficient ways. 51Ƶ University has the responsibility for developing curriculum and applying instructional methods enriched with technology and in ensuring that our students and teachers are operating at the highest standards possible.
“…the LORD shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if that you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God…”
