In this paper, the issue of epistemology and its relation to the classroom applications in the modern era of technology is taken up for the purpose of determining the extent to which such a relation holds true. Education institutions are in need for teachers who are ready to adopt computer-assisted teaching and introduce technology-related devices in education. But, is integrating technology with education an easy task? Certainly, it is not, since this process represents a big challenge, where students may accept the changes while most of the teachers are hesitant to abandon their conventional or traditional methods of teaching. To meet such a challenge, schools and universities tend nowadays to provide and offer courses in computer science in particular and information technology in general. Thus, it is noticed that modern educational strategies are designed to enhance and develop computer applications in the classroom as a new tendency towards narrowing the gap between teachers and students, where both parties will agree on the usage of technology for the teaching-learning process. Therefore, epistemology of technology is inevitable, whereby the pedagogical outcome will form the essence of this synthetic structure. (Published abstract)
