| Annotation | Senior citizens, health care providers, educators and researchers are witnessing a technological explosion that is changing the way in which services are provided and received. Although technology can be a powerful force in improving communication and quality of life, it often is adopted without clear guidelines. However, despite this, technology continues to transform how education, research and policy are implemented. The challenge of the 21st century is to ensure that technology not only promotes quality education and lifestyle practices for older people, but also that society as a whole is safeguarded through the use of ethical frameworks and standards for its use. The articles presented in this special issue of Educational Gerontology explore the use of technology in gerontology, with a view to examining the role of technology in education, policy, and practice, and considering important ethical safeguards in its use.
