The document discusses definitions and approaches to technology integration in education. It defines technology integration as incorporating technology resources and practices into daily school routines, work, and management. It notes that for technology to positively impact achievement, it must be used regularly as part of instruction rather than as a supplemental add-on. The document also contrasts two approaches to technology integration - as an instructional resource that fosters critical thinking and connected learning versus an extension tool that is disconnected from the curriculum. It argues that integrating technology prepares students for global collaboration and that educators should focus on creating learning communities that incorporate technology.
