Integrating technology with teaching means using technological tools to introduce, reinforce, and expand upon skills being taught. Exemplary technology users conduct their classes differently - student computer use is seamlessly integrated into the teaching patterns, and software serves as a natural extension of students' tools. For example, a teacher may use a computer and projection software to display photos from a social studies class more clearly, leading to an enhanced class discussion. Another teacher may use trigonometry software projected in class to supplement a lecture, allowing for interactivity. A teacher also assigned group work to create newsletters about a region using computers, increasing students' social and computer skills through collaborative planning and creativity.

Integrating technology with
teaching means the use of
learning technologies to
introduce, reinforce,
supplement and extend
skills. The difference
between the classroom of
exemplary users of
technology and technology
users is the way their
classes are conducted. In
the exemplary classrooms,
student use of computers
is woven integrally into the
patterns of teaching;
software is a natural
extension of student tools.

5. Simple/Basic integration

to the class (a presentation software
package)
Result:
Good class presentation followed by a

6. Middle level integration
 Mr. Roxas uses a computer bases
Trigonometry software, projected to the
class using a projector to supplement his
teacher centered class presentation.
Result:
An interactive class using a software

7. Note: in this example, Technology is the central
instructional tool
 To dish out information on the Asean
Region, Mr. Lopez assigned newsletter
computer production by group
Result:
Increased social skills through group
work; planning, creativity, computer skills
