Tools, both physical and "mental," tool making and tool using, are the lifeblood of all occupations and professions. Technology is a tool to help teachers and students do their respective jobs of teaching and learning. Data, when properly managed, offers administrators and teachers powerful tools for better decision making. Globalization, new information and communication technologies, the networked value chain and the standardization of goods and data exchange processes have changed the role of logistics radically.

Though widely taught in the college and university business and engineering curricula, education lacks an adequate field of logistics. Worse yet, education is unaware of the dimensions of such a field and its value in supporting a teacher's classroom duties. Can we really expect technology in the classroom to blossom into student-centered learning without giving teachers logistical support?

Studying an occupation's tools and materials, their use and misuse, their availability or absence, and their supply, repair, replacement, and training for use make up the field of learning called "logistics." training for use make up the field of learning called "logistics."

Recent decades have shown, logistics has developed into a cross-functional discipline with a higher requirement for education and professional skills and the requirement for the instructional curriculum changes rapidly. It has become apparent that rapid changes in these requirements in practice and further developments in research in the logistics field challenge educators to further upgrade their education system, their course programme and their teaching methods.

Technology can best be understood as providing a major part of the logistical support for the teaching and learning process. The personal computer is the quintessential example. With the computer as the teacher's "assistant," teacher support is given at the point of need: to score tests, to list learning objectives mastered, to make individualized assignments including those needed for quality control, to assign and locate resources required to accomplish an assignment, to provide target completion times and rates of progress, to select and assign alternative lesson approaches, to flag students with entry deficiencies and proficiencies, to provide reports on individual student performance and attendance, to furnish student data profiles for use in student counseling, and to provide feedback for corrective action to the teacher on his or her instructional effectiveness.

All too often efforts at school improvement fail to take into account the value of giving the teacher the proper tools, materials, and activities to meet student learning and psychological differences at the time of need. Tools are needed in the right amounts, in working order, and without burden for teachers having the know-how to use them properly. This neglect helps explain why school reform is not possible without taking logistics into account. We expect that when schools benchmark efficient and effective organizations they will discover the most neglected aspect of classroom teaching is the lack of logistical support of the teaching and learning process. The lack of logistical support in education goes a long way toward explaining what is wrong with the conventional process. Each teacher has little choice except to use the dominant process tools found in most classrooms: lecture, textbook, homework assignment, and student recitation. And the results of this "stuck in the rut" process are predictable:

1. Students whose reading levels are above or below that of the textbook are neglected and are therefore not served well

2. Teachers are short of time to give the array of explanations needed to meet the different needs of the students, therefore some students grasp what is taught, some do not get it, and some are bored stiff because they already know the topic

3. The generally passive nature of the learning experience makes it impossible to have each student interact and less likely that students fully understand and retain the material taught
