Abstract

Society's reliance on technology today has created a demand for more effective ways of communication unlike any before.   The need to communicate has made its way from the home to the business world and into the educational setting.  This article discusses the historical journey that has landed communication in the classroom.  Scholars such as Piaget and Papert help us understand how technology practices in methodology and pedagogy naturally allow for the emergence of new views.  This article provides evidence of resources that help both educators and students in the primary grades to fully integrate technology in the everyday setting.  The goal of this article is to help educators understand the longitudinal progression that technology has taken in order to become prevalent in the classroom. By understanding how educational networking can enhance learning and help to ignite a passion for learning.
