Introduction
In the current world, schools have embraced technology in many
ways that have eased the processes, delivery, and propagation of
knowledge; technology has assisted institutions and made
communication efficient and effective. I firmly believe that
implementation of technology in schools and classrooms will
improve the quality of education and makes learning more
attractive to students, technology is not static and implementing
it in education sector makes students get to know the current
and develop skills to cope with new ones that he or she might
meet in the job market, the objective of this paper is to focus on
use of technology in schools and classrooms and its benefits it
can accrue when fully implemented (Clark,2015). This is an

2. essential objective since technology forms a significant part of
our daily lives, and it is necessary for the students to have
positive attitudes towards it early. This will enable them to
adapt better in their lives outside school and consequently
become more productive individuals in society.
Three Learning instructional strategies
Instructional strategies require that teachers require some
experience and at least know the student's way of learning, his
or her interest, this is quite necessary since it makes them know
leaner development levels, making this such decision requires
student assessment which is linked to the learning goals and the
processes of learning. This kind of strategy can be categorized
into five, which relate to each other.
Direct instruction strategy is commonly used and is mainly
based on the direct engagement of the teacher and the student.
This method may include plain teaching where teachers engaged
student directly, and it is also include lecturing, drilling, and
demonstrations, this method is effective and good enough to
provide sufficient information as well as developing skills step
by step hence help students construct knowledge, applying
technology with his strategy can help the teacher to introduced
other teaching methods, effective direct instructional strategy is
more complicated than it appears. The use of technology in this
would make it a bit dull to use.
Instructional strategies appropriate for the project
Indirect Instructional strategy unlike to direct instructional
strategy indirect instructional is significantly student-centered,
in this method, it majorly involve in decision making and
problem-solving, indirect instruction may be used effectively
with the proper application of technology in situations of
attitudes and values of students are desired and also when ego
involvement and intrinsic motivation are and when long-lasting
learning ability is desired. Indirect instruction tends to acquire a
high degree standard of participation in making proper
investigation, observation, and collecting and gathering of data
inferences. This method focuses mostly on the curiosity and the

3. interest of the student as well. It always motivates them to
create options while finding a solution to the problem at hand.
The method is flexible such that it allows the learners to
discover various potentials as well as minimizing the associated
fear as to the results of giving incorrect answers in the class
environment.
Interactive instructional this category major on sharing ideas
and discussing them among parties involved, this method
provides learner with comprehensives skills and opportunities to
act in response to ideas, views and knowledge of the instructor
or his or her fellow learners, applying technology in this help
student and teachers interaction more efficient and meaningful,
students can organize and record thoughts of her or his
colleagues or his or her teacher, this method help student
develop abilities and skills with the help of technology they too
get adapt to the current knowledge .in most of the incidents for
the success of the interactive instruction plan strategy its
always rely heavily on the experience of the instructor in ways
of developing and structuring the dynamics within the group
members. These strategy plans may include peer partner
learning, group laboratory, and tutorial groups.
Experiential learning this is where the teaching is inductive,
student-centered, as well as the activities oriented. The personal
reflection about the understanding, as well as the formulation of
the strategic plans, is applied to the learning context to enhance
experiential effective learning outcomes. It occurs whenever the
students or learners engage a lot in the activities as they reflect
on their experiences to clarify their learning feelings. Examples
include Field Trips, Narratives, and Conducting Experiment
Independent study stipulates the form of learning with a variety
of the instructional methods that, with determination, are
comprehensively offered to develop an individual learner, self-
reliance, initiative as well as self-improvement. However, this
form of study as well can be initiated by the learner or the
teacher, but the main focus will be planned by the student,
perhaps under the guidance of the classroom teacher or the

4. supervisor.
Learning objectives and appropriate project delivery strategies
Lesson sequencing is where numerous lesson plans are
prearranged and. Applying technology in lesson sequencing
smoothen transitions between lessons to meet the learning
objective of the unit plan and the best possible learning
outcomes (United States Department of Education, 2017).
Putting together events or information in a specific order that
learners can understand. The capability to sequence requires a
high level of expertise that can be easily maintained by
technology, and sequence assists students in solving problems
that they encounter and also helping organize materials
knowledge they have garnered. Learner related sequences can
be practiced at every level and can be applied across the
curriculum. In reading, students apply sequencing to recognize
how to spot unfolds from the beginning up to the end. In science
disciplines, students apply sequencing skills to conduct
experiments. Sequencing skills assist learners in placing
information on certain order; technology is increasingly
necessary for day to day activities in schools and classrooms.
Using technology in sequenced lesson plans profit both the
teacher and learners. When technology is implemented in
classrooms, it smoothens various functions sequenced lesson
plans, minimizes classrooms interruptions and optimizing the
learning environment
Instructional context analysis and appropriate delivery
strategies
Lesson sequencing entails various aspects. It includes the
activities such that the teacher set up the goals and the objective
of the learning. Present the material in an orderly manner. When
the teacher planned properly, it will smoothen the transition
between the lessons, and it will allow the learners to be well
organized as they know what happens next after each lesson.
Facilitating scaffolding by making clear end objectives in
sequenced lessons that allow teachers to foresee difficulties and
problem areas. Specific technology help gives additional

5. supports, such as specific training and activities, be given to
help learners gain difficulty. Future planning: implemented
technology in Sequencing lessons in progress permit instructors
to calculate the time it takes to complete certain material and
see how it takes when the lessons are delivered to learners,
technology also help teachers identify the optimal points in the
program for checking the students’ conscious of the material
and also how best to structure these assessments. Better
grouping teachers experience difficulties, and their work
requires good organization skills, teachers who are applying
technology in classrooms hep students too get to know in
advance what will be covered thus allowing them prepare
photocopies, worksheets and handouts, technology in lesson
sequencing has some extra advantages for examples if the class
advances through a material more quickly than expected the
instructor will be able to evaluate and the processes and make
necessary changes if needed since the student do not progress at
the similar rate the instructor will be to accommodate such more
and packages his or her to meet the diverse learners needs
Instructional strategies analysis and appropriate delivery
strategies
Teachers most cases work with class while delivering that is
while presenting information or while molding a process. In this
case, classrooms are viewed as workgroup engaging in academic
activities, application of technology, in this case, provides a
positive climate for the presentation of information to the class,
this strategy help students develop their cognitive domain and
better themselves academically. Identifyingentrybehaviors as an
Instructional delivery strategy provides skills as well as the
steps which the student must attain, which is quite essential to
recognize the comprehension and skills echelon the leaner
possesses. Even though the learners may have differences in
their understanding and skill degree, teaching should be
targeted as much as required to the degrees the student’s
requirements. Technology in classrooms facilitates and
smoothens the processes of which are used to meet the needs of

6. the learner. Selecting an instructional method is methods that
allow identification and involve teaching techniques that are
most effective and can achieve performance objectives;
technology in schools and classrooms used in the instructional
method makes students active learners. Frequently used
classroom delivery strategies are conversation and query and
response, which are discussed below. It is a piece of common
knowledge and recognized that understanding of a concept is
better than giving the correct response as well as this can be
achieved through active query and vigorous involvement by
learners. Having a group conversation may be meaningful;
technology in classrooms assists students adapted to many
classroom situations. Technology applied in the classroom
group discussion may assist by providing a positive classroom
climate as well as leading the learners in their interesting
courses or the subjects. Furthermore, instructors may create
active listening as well as building on learner responses in a
given discussion.
Questions and answers as a delivery strategy can effectively be
used. Students feel they are being addressed directly by the
teacher. When students respond to inquiries, they not only speak
to the teacher but also talk to their colleagues. This strategy
encompasses probes m prompts and redirecting techniques, for
instance, the pause between soliciting a response and asking a
question, this technique should be used by the teacher to
maximize contribution and participation of students, this
strategy also helps students to think more deeply about the
material or subject under study, this strategy might at time
seems to be boring and introducing technology in this kind of
approach is quite beneficial since students may gain morale of
participating for instance creation of online platforms that
students can interact with their teacher about a given subject of
study can be achieved more effectively (Vatanartiran, &
Karadeniz, 2015). Simulation allows essential experiments to
take place, which could not have taken place in real classrooms.
The simulation is critical in science learning as it entails the use

7. of games, models, video programs, as well as structured role-
plays to enhance insight to the objective and the goal of the
learner and the teacher. In most cases, learners are easily
motivated to contribute, and therefore technology is
exceedingly resourceful in designing simulation strategy. Since
technology creates a positive atmosphere in classrooms during
the simulation, the students become active participants, and this
can be maintained by the relevant application of technology that
tends to meet the optimal learning objectives.

Needs Analysis to Enhance Technology in Schools
There are many advancements in technology that need to be
implemented in the education sector. They may help to enhance
the relationship between students and their teachers while
making the learning process fun and more meaningful.
Technology has made life easier and better in many other
aspects of our lives, however, when it comes to education,
people often hesitate to implement it. However, it is believed
that the implementation of technology can greatly improve the
quality of education while preparing students for the real world.
Due to lack of technology implementation in teaching, many
students end up not being technologically savvy causing them to
have a hard time when they get to the job market. This leads to
many losses since vast resources have to be utilized to help
them to learn the technologies that are being utilized. With the
implementation of technology in teaching, the students will get
to the job market aware of the existing technologies hence
eliminating the need for training. There are many obstacles to
the implementation even in areas where it has been proposed.
The major obstacles include lack of experts that are able to

9. implement these technologies and poor or total lack of
integration plans. Therefore, there is need for this sectors to be
catered for to ensure that the project is implemented
successfully in the schools. This discrepancy further indicates
that there is need to have a well laid plan with appropriate
technology leadership to ensure adequate implementation of the
project (Vatanartiran & Karadeniz, 2015).
Learner Characteristics
The learner characteristics for this identified need are varied
depending on the age group it is being implemented in. Some
types of technology have found their way into the class room, in
addition to e-learning, electronic whiteboards, tablets and
computers are also used within the classroom environment. The
education system is struggling with an increase in the number of
students and this further emphasizes the need to implement
technology in education. To implement this, first people need to
understand the technological knowledge possessed by the
students. Basic knowledge on the use of either a computer or a
tablet is important in the implementation of this project. There
is also need to come up with appropriate ways of assessing the
students if learning is taking place using the technological
advancements. Instructional designers are very important in the
implementation of the project as they are equipped with skills to
analyze all the factors involved and come up with a system that
is appropriate and beneficial for the students (United States
department of education, 2017).
Instructional Objectives
The implementation of technology in education aims at
achieving set targets for the students. In the cognitive domain,
it aims at improving the application of learned concepts in real
life situations. This will assist in the transformation from the
classroom into the workplace since the students will already
have had experience on what they will be working with. This
can be achieved through collaborative learning rather than the
traditional learning method where the teacher instructs the
students. In the behavioral domain, the implementation of the

10. project aims at improving the perception of objects or events by
the students. Technology allows for a level of independence by
the student especially in the case of e-learning. The students
become more independent as they have to plan their time to
complete the assigned work within the specified time. In the
affective domain, it aims at getting the students exposed to
technology consequently creating a good impression towards it.
This is an important objective since technology forms a major
part of our daily lives and it is important for the students to
have positive attitudes towards it early. This will enable them to
adapt better in their lives outside school and consequently
become more productive individuals in the society (Clark,
2015).
