The document discusses the difference between technology use and technology integration in education. Technology use involves using technology to deliver instruction, convey information, and tutor students, but student interaction is limited. Technology integration incorporates technology resources and practices into daily routines and management in a way that engages students in critical thinking and knowledge construction. While technology use does not effectively involve or engage students, technology integration gets students actively involved in learning with technology rather than just from it.

1. Technology Use vs. Technology Integration Nakita Pasquesi

2. Technology Use Involves : Technology used as a media for delivering instruction Conveyor of information Tutors of Students

3. How involved are students with technology use ? Learners perceive and try to understand the messages stored in the technology. Interaction limited to pressing a key.

4. Technology Integration: “ The incorporation of technology resources and technology based practices into the daily routines, work, and management of schools.” Defined by: The National Forum on Education Statistics (2005), Forum Unified Education Technology Suite

5. How involved are students with technology integration ? Students are required to think about what they know in different, meaningful ways. Engage students in critical thinking.

6. Which is Better? ** Integrating Technology ** “ Technology should not support learning by attempting to instruct the learners, but rather should be used as knowledge construction tools that students learn with, not from.” Johanssen, D.H (1996) Computers in the classroom: Mindtools for critical thinking . Columbus, OH: Merrill Hall

7. Why is technology integration better? Gets students involved Engages students Encourages critical thinking Knowledge Construction, not repetition Gets students acquainted with recent technology Prepares student for real world Learn with technology not from it Cost efficient / assessable for schools

9. Why is technology use not effective? Students not involved nor engaged Students learn from technology not with it Does not encourage critical thinking Repetition Does not support learning Not incorporated into curriculum
