Dan O'hair Leslie Ann Williams Journal on School Educational Technology 2230 – 7133 3 4 17 33 During the last two decades, an assumption was advanced by policy makers that making technology available would result in effective technology transfer and integration in the teaching and learning process (Cuban, 2001); however, reality has been less kind with research presenting a pessimistic picture regarding the impact of technology in the classroom and on teachers’ instructional strategies (Becker, 2001).
