Classroom teachers today might not have any experience in technology, which presents another obstacle. To incorporate technology-based tasks and activities into the teaching teachers first need to take the time to learn how to utilize the technology and know the terms needed to participate in activities or projects. They should be able to use technology to enhance students' learning and to enhance their own professional development.

Instructional technology helps students develop to develop their skills and knowledge through multiple representations as well as enhanced visualization. Its advantages include improved precision and speed in data collection and graphing, live-time visualization, the capability to analyze and collect massive amounts of data, collaboration in the collection of data and its interpretation, and a more diverse display of the results. Technology can also help students engage in higher-order thinking, develops solid problem-solving abilities, and helps develop a deep understanding of concepts and processes when applied correctly.

Technology should play a crucial role in the development of academic standards for content and their effective implementation. The expectations that reflect the proper usage of technology should be included in these standards as well as benchmarks, and indicators at the grade level. For instance the standards should contain requirements for students to be able to efficiently compute with pencil and paper as well as technology-supported methods, and to utilize computers or graphing calculators to draw and analyze mathematical relationships. These standards should be designed to help create a curriculum that is rich in technology, not to restrict the application of technology to specific abilities or grades. Technology can make subjects accessible every student, not just students with disabilities. Opportunities to help students improve their strengths and advance in an education based on standards are increased with the help of technological support and interventions. For instance the use of specialized technology can increase the opportunities of students who have physical disabilities to learn and demonstrate math concepts and abilities. Technology impacts the way we work in our lives, what we do and the way we live our lives. Technology's influence in the classroom should be felt on the science and math teachers their efforts to provide each pupil with "the possibility and the resources to acquire the skills in language they require to reach their goals in life and participate fully as active, informed citizens," cannot be overestimated.
