This document discusses perceptions of technology integration in education from students and teachers on different sides of the digital divide. It finds that most negative perceptions of educational technology refer to superficial time management and technical issues, rather than the quality of learning, and can be addressed with proper scaffolding and design. Positive perceptions focus on improved learning processes, engagement, and instructional quality, showing so-called "digital immigrants" can benefit from tools used by "digital natives" when implemented appropriately. The document concludes collaborative tools alone do not ensure learning communities and goals must be considered.
