Welcome to Technology Education
Just as English literacy is necessary for modern life in America, so too is technological literacy. The ability to understand, assess, and use technology is a part of many careers—including many jobs that aren’t based upon technology, but use technological innovation to accomplish other ends. From the automotive to the building trades, it is a part of everyday business. With the emergence of systematized science, the rate at which technology is created and adapted has dramatically increased. Students today grow up in worlds entirely different from those hardly experienced a generation ago.
Technology is fundamentally about solving problems—applying knowledge and creativity in order to design a product or system that meets a need. Technology education, therefore, encourages students to examine their environments and develop alternatives and solutions. Those who excel in these skills may go on to become inventors and innovators, engineers and entrepreneurs; their technological problem-solving abilities will result in a more productive use of resources, thus freeing up other resources to meet more needs throughout our economy.
