What+Does+Good+Tech+Integration+Look+Like?

=This page will provide some resources (articles, videos, blogs) to explain why we need to integrate technology and show you some good examples in classrooms. Remember, showing a teacher-prepared PowerPoint or using Promethean/Smart lesson or a United Streaming Video to the class is using technology, but not really tech integration. We need to get the technology into the hands of the students. We want to have the technology as a tool in your classroom to support the teaching and learning that is going on to master the standards. There are so many different potential uses of technology, but sometimes we need to think outside the box since every classroom is not a computer lab!= ==

Integrating technology with classroom practice can be a great way to strengthen engagement by linking students to a global audience, turning them into creators of digital media, and helping them practice collaboration skills that will prepare them for the future.
