Frick's article, "Education Systems and Technology in 1990, 2020, and Beyond," provides a critical analysis of the evolution of education technology over the past three decades and considers the future of education technology. The article is also intended for educators and policymakers who are interested in understanding the impact of technology on teaching and learning, as well as how that has changed as we have shifted away from the paper-age and moved into the current digital age. Frick draws on his experience as an educator and administrator, as well as on educational research and policy, to support his argument that education technology has transformed significantly over the past thirty years, and new technologies will continue to reshape the way students learn and teachers teach. In contrast to the previously analyzed article, Frick describes the state of education technology in 2020, where technology is widely available in classrooms and students have access to a variety of digital tools and resources. Throughout the article, Frick provides examples of how education technology has changed over time, including the introduction of the internet, the rise of mobile devices, and the growing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (Frick, 2020). He also highlights the benefits and challenges of technology integration in the classroom. For example, Frick notes that technology has the potential to increase student engagement, promote personalized learning, and provide access to resources that might not otherwise be available. However, he also acknowledges that technology can be a distraction in the classroom, and that educators must be careful to balance the use of technology with other forms of instruction and learning (Frick, 2020). Overall, Frick's article provides a valuable perspective on the evolution of education technology, highlighting both the benefits and challenges of technology integration in the classroom.
