The document discusses technology integration in education. It defines technology integration as using technology resources in content areas to allow students to meaningfully apply computer skills in real-world situations. Some key barriers to integration are lack of teacher training, limited planning time, and budget constraints. The document outlines different stages of integration from familiarization to revolution. It provides examples of ways to integrate technology like virtual field trips, webquests, and interactive whiteboards. Effective integration facilitates problem-solving learning rather than just knowledge dispensation.

13. Technology Integration
Changing the Way We Teach
• Facilitating learning – not dispensing
knowledge
• Co-creators of product and projects
• Problem-solving as a group
• Guiding and tutoring

14. Familiarize
Become aware of technology and it’s
potential uses

15. Utilize
Teachers use technology but get frustrated
with even minor problems and don’t use

16. Integrate
Technology becomes essential for
the educational process and
teachers begin to think constantly
about how to integrate technology
into their classrooms

17. Reorientation
Teachers begin to rethink the
educational goals of the
classroom with the use of
technology

18. Revolution
The classroom evolves into a
completely integrated model of
technology in all subject areas.
Technology becomes a tool that is
as seamless as textbooks, pens,
paper and the chalkboard.
