The purpose of Fairmont’s technology initiative PrepTEC is to provide the purposeful, thought-out plan of how technology via iPad tablets will be deployed and utilized in our approach to 21st century learning and teaching. Students in the 21st century live in a world in which they are immersed in digital technology. By their own reports, students spend over 10 hours a day using technology such as cell phones, computers and laptops, and surfing the Web (Rideout, Foehr, & Roberts, 2010). This usage represents a considerable increase within the past five years, and is driven largely by use of mobile computing devices with Internet access, like iPod®, MP3 player, Smartphone, and tablet computer. Don Tapscott (2008) in a series for Business Week on the Net Generation wrote that the old model of pedagogy that is teacher-focused, one-way, and one-size-fits-all, makes no sense to young people who have grown up in a digital world. He argues that members of the Net Generation have different mental habits than their Boomer parents. They expect a conversation, rather than a lecture, and they're used to working in groups, rather than working alone and, he argues, digital immersion has even affected the way they absorb information. They don't necessarily read a page in a textbook from left to right and from top to bottom. They might instead skip around the page, scanning for pertinent information of interest (Tapscott, 2008). It is evident, moreover, from research studies that the addition of technology into the classroom alone does not improve student performance. As the U.S. Department of Education (2010) suggests, inclusion of technology in classrooms must be done purposefully, with a thought-out plan of what technology will be deployed and how that technology will be utilized in (and beyond) the classroom for instruction. Successful educational technologies depend not only on the tools being used, but the content – digital programs must have high quality instruction and high quality content if they are going to be effective (Foundation for Excellence in Education, 2010). The PrepTEC Logo Patricia Aguilar, created the Prep TEC logo. This amazing logo incorporates the idea of a circuit board, which symbolizes technology, combined with the symbol of a tree branching out, representing education and growth. Also, she used the idea of "connecting the dots" which happens on circuit boards, but is also similar to the idea of what teachers do - help students connect the dots to see a bigger picture. She combined all of these symbols as a unified object together for Technology-Enhanced Curriculum.
