The document discusses the importance of integrating technology into teaching and learning. It argues that technology provides motivation for students, offers unique instructional capabilities, and supports new instructional approaches like cooperative learning. It also notes that technology skills are required for students to be productive members of an information-driven society. The document then provides a step-by-step approach for how teachers can integrate technology into their classrooms, including planning lessons with and without technology, assessing the technology component, and ensuring the focus remains on student learning rather than the technology itself.

1. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IN TEACHING
AND LEARNING

3. INTRODUCTION
It is commonly believed that learning is
enhanced through the use of technology and
that students need to develop technology skills
in order to be productive members of society.
For this reason, providing a high-quality
education includes the expectation that
teachers use educational technologies
effectively in their classroom and that they
teach their students to use technology.

4. WHAT IS
TECHNOLOGY
integration about?
Technology integration is the use of
technological resources (computers, software
applications, internet) in daily classroom
practices.
It is about creating instructional environments
that can facilitate active engagement, meet the
specific and varying needs of the students,
facilitate collaborative problem solving, providing
students with authentic learning environments.

5. WHY IS TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION IMPORTANT?

6. WHY IS TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IMPORTANT?
1. Technology provides motivation for
students by:
Gaining learner attention.
Engaging the learner through production
work.
Increasing perceptions of control.

7. WHY IS
TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION
IMPORTANT?
2. Technology offers unique
instructional capabilities, such as :
Linking learners to information and
educational resources.
Helping learners visualize problems
and solutions.
Tracking learner progress.
Linking learners to learning tools.

8. WHY IS TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IMPORTANT?
3. Technology gives support for new
instructional approaches, such as:
Cooperative learning.
Shared intelligence.
Problem solving and higher level skills.

9. WHY IS TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IMPORTANT?
 4. Technology skills are required for an information age:
 Technology literacy.
 Information literacy.
 Visual literacy.

10. HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY BE
INTEGRATED INTO
CLASSROOM?
 Step by step guided approach

11. HOW CAN
TECHNOLOGY
BE INTEGRATED
INTO
CLASSROOM?
 Step 1. Plan Your Lesson WITHOUT
the Technology Integration First.
 If you do not teach a specific subject
area, decide what type of lesson you
want to teach (i.e. math, social studies,
science, etc.).
 Once you know the subject area, start
developing your goals and objectives of
the lesson (without the technology
integration).
 Develop your entire lesson without the
technology integration first.

12. HOW CAN
TECHNOLOGY
BE INTEGRATED
INTO
CLASSROOM?
 Step 2: Know your Resources
 Do you have the proper equipment in
the school for your lesson (i.e.,
computer lab, individual computer in the
class, Ipad’s, Cell phones, Internet
Access, etc.)?

13. HOW CAN
TECHNOLOGY
BE INTEGRATED
INTO
CLASSROOM?
 Step 3: Research the technology
standards that correlate with your
lesson.
 Identify the technology skills needed by
students to complete the planned
activity in the lesson: You can write
these down on the side or write/type
them into your lesson.
 Once you know what specific
technology skills are needed, then it’s
time to research!

14. HOW CAN
TECHNOLOGY
BE INTEGRATED
INTO
CLASSROOM?
 Step 4: Write learning
objectives/performance objectives
that include technology.
 Use the technology standards you have
found and your initial learning objectives
to develop specific objectives that
include the technology integration.

15. HOW CAN
TECHNOLOGY
BE INTEGRATED
INTO
CLASSROOM?
 Step 5: Know how you will assess
the technology component of your
lesson.
 Will you use a rubric? Will you use
teacher observation? How will you know
if students understand both the
instructional content and the technology
you integrated?

16. HOW CAN
TECHNOLOGY
BE INTEGRATED
INTO
CLASSROOM?
 Step 6: Plan your lesson WITH the
technology integration
 Either add or rewrite your performance
objectives with the technology
integration – In your lesson plan, be
sure to add your assessment of both the
instructional content and the technology
component. – Be sure to include the
technology resources you use in your
lesson plan.

17. CONCLUSION
Teachers should find ways to use
technology so that it enhances instruction
and improves student learning.
The focus of technology integration
activities should not be on the
technology that is used, but on the
student activities that are
conducted using technology.
