Using Technology in the Classroom Jayme Wilson Final Project - Option B April 28, 2009

Why should we use technology in the classroom? “ Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals.”
