"If there is a single phenomenon of the past decade or two that can be said to be revolutionizing our lives—at home, in the work place, and in society—it is the accelerating power and ubiquitous presence of technology. Offering incredible capacities and speed for data collection, analysis, and dissemination, technology is ushering in the ‘information age.’ It is transforming our communication patterns, the work we do, and our leisure time." (Sampson, 1998) Technology, graphing calculators, computers, the Internet, the information super highway, we’ve come a long way in math since the invention of the abacus, but what does this mean for educators and what does it have to do with NCTM and Achieve standards? Technology is ever changing and in order to keep up we must change what and how we teach. Mathematics is no exception. It is important for us to realize that the main focus of education has always been to prepare America’s youth for America’s future. New standards for Mathematics seem to be coming from everywhere. It is important to realize that these standards should reflect what is necessary for our society and economy. If new standards are to be formed they need to address the needs of our society, which include technology. Everything should reflect this new focus towards technology including how we assess, the assessments themselves and the training of those responsible for teaching these standards. By the end of this paper, should be able to see why technology is important, where it fits into the Standards of Achieve and NCTM, the problems that prevent it from getting there, how we can fix these problems and what we are to do about training those responsible.
