The paper presents results from a study of how effectively technology has been implemented in K-12 classrooms. The study also examined the need to train current and future teachers on the use of educational technologies, through inservice and preservice training programs and within colleges of education. The paper will discuss how and why the Department of Defense (DoD) can assist in this implementation.

The objectives of the study included (1) to recommend uses of DoD simulation and other computer related technologies for school systems and (2) to recommend how to effectively integrate technologies into these school systems. Literature searches, site visits, interviews, the use of consultants and presentations given at a forum produced several findings and recommendations that are reported in the paper.
