Abstract
As educators ponder the immediacy of teaching an increasing student population with fewer teachers entering the profession, fewer schools being built, and the unplanned retirement of a huge amount of both teachers and administrators, the use of educational technologies will not only be desirable, but in most cases, a requirement in primary, secondary, and post-secondary education institutions. The most desirable outcome for instituting educational technology would be to ensure every classroom was fully equipped with the latest technology that enhanced teaching, information gathering, and presenting outside information. With that costs being prohibitive, turning libraries into media centers, usually only done with schools with abundant resources, has now become a necessity. Libraries were once know as centers for storing and sharing the latest books along side the oldest. They are closing and reopening as centers of technology. The lessons learned from doing this are important to apply to lessons yet to be learned.
