The role of technology in the world of education has been ever changing. Most
recently, technology has been a new phenomenon to help motivate, differentiate, and
allow students to achieve and excel in ways that they have never been able to before.
According to Johnson (2003), the computer and technology, if used correctly, has the
ability to “invoke dream in the minds of visionary educators who saw endless
potential for altering traditional notions of teaching and learning” (p. 2). Two past
presidents saw the need for fundamental change in education to keep American
students in competition with technology with other students from around the world. In
1994, President Bill Clinton signed The Goals 2000: Educate America Act (Goals
2000: Educate America Act, 1994). There were many parts of this bill that involved

the four characteristics one needs to establish in order for people to be motivated to
learn.” When looking to implement Technology into a classroom, educators must look
closely at their student population to understand who they are working with, how their
students will learn best, and how to build their confidence with technology so they
will, in return, be satisfied with their learning experience, and thus become motivated

in computers may display greater knowledge and interest because the tasks they may
do on a computer are already relevant to their interests and they are able to make
connections on their own. This finding from Sansone et al. (2011) shows the
importance of using the four characteristics from Keller (1987). Attention, relevance,
confidence, and satisfaction all come into play with educators and students for
their technology-based class activities and small-group interactions.” With more and
more emphasis being placed on student learning and achievement, schools are looking
at making changes and immersing students and teachers with technology. With that,

research refers to the type of research question, design, and data analysis that will be
applied to a given topic. Descriptive statistics tell what is, while inferential statistics
try to determine cause and effect. According to Devin Kowalczyk (2013) a correlation
is simply defined as a relationship between two variables. The whole purpose of using
