In education, computers and the Internet are examples of technology. However, other examples include calculators, pencil, paper, overhead projector, videotape, and audiotape.

McDonell Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 12:30 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-TECHNOLOGY:3014] definition of technology One of the assignments I gave a class today was to define the word technology. I thought that it might be interesting to hear what this board thinks of when they use the word technology. I find that it has come to mean mostly computers or the Internet which makes me sigh. Any ideas? Tommy Tommy B. McDonell Adjunct Instructor, Marymount Manhattan College Doctoral Candidate in TESOL-NYU tommy.mcdonell@nyu.edu 212-414-8513 home before 10PM 212-414-1293 fax
