The author of this article tries to explore the relationship and to determine if there was any significant effect on learning style when high school students were working in a technology-rich environment. The study took place in 1996-1997 school years to compare two different types of learning environments in which high school freshman classes from two different high schools were assessed. One class is from more traditional high school that is known for its excellence in education but was not tech savvy has a more traditional curriculum, and the other one was from a high school that infuses technology into every subject. Both the classes were pre and post tested on a learning style in different environments. The results of this study found that the use of technology affected all aspects of the teaching and learning and demanded new approaches to the curriculum. New ways of exploring the curriculum emerged as teachers tried to integrate technology directly into the subject matter.
