Technology Integration
Technology Integration is a term used by educators to describe effective uses of technology by teachers and students in K-12 and university classrooms. Teachers use technology to support instruction in language arts, social studies, science, math, or other content areas. When teachers integrate technology into their classroom practice, learners are empowered to be actively engaged in their learning.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Technology integration is not:
Taking students to the computer lab once a week for 40 minutes
Using the computer as an electronic worksheet
Using the computer as a reward station for students who are finished with their other assignments
Technology integration is:
Part of the daily activities taking place in the classroom
Supporting and extending curriculum objectives in a seamless manner
Engaging students in meaningful learningEnabling students to demonstrate what they
have learned in new and creative ways
Traditional vs. Integrated Teacher-oriented Single-sense stimulation Single-path progression Single media Isolated work Information delivery Passive learning
Factual, knowledge-based learning
Reactive response Isolated, artificial content
Student-centered Multi-sensory stimulation Multi-path progression Multi-media Collaborative work Information exchange Active/exploratory/inquiry-
based learning Critical thinking and informed
decision-making Proactive/planned action Authentic/real-world context
Support Instruction
Teaching that emphasizes active engagement helps students process and retain information. It leads to self-questioning, deeper thinking, and problem solving.
