Hello and Welcome

What is Technology Integration?

National Educational Technology Standards For Students, International Society For Technology In Education

Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally.

The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions as accessible as all other classroom tools.

Technology Integration = Reciprocal Learning
