This document discusses integrating technology into K-12 pedagogy. It provides an overview of two models for technology integration: the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) model and the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition (SAMR) model. It outlines lessons learned when integrating technology, such as starting slowly, focusing on objectives over expertise, and letting students lead. Both the highs and lows of technology integration are examined, including increased engagement but also increased time demands. Examples of technologies used are discussed, and ideas and questions from attendees are solicited.
