This document provides guidance on planning for technology integration in the classroom. It discusses that technology integration requires collaboration between teachers and specialists to support curriculum goals. Effective integration engages students through active learning, participation, feedback and real-world connections. The document then outlines six steps to plan a lesson integrating technology: 1) plan the lesson without technology, 2) identify available resources, 3) research relevant technology standards, 4) write objectives incorporating technology, 5) determine assessments of both content and technology, and 6) develop the full lesson plan integrating technology and assessing both.

2. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
• Integration is when classroom
teachers use technology to introduce,
reinforce, extend, enrich, assess, and
remediate student mastery of
curricular targets.

3. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
• Integration is an instructional choice that
generally includes collaboration and deliberate
planning—and always requires a classroom
teacher’s participation. It cannot be legislated
through curriculum guides nor will it happen
spontaneously. Someone with vision—an
administrator, a teacher, or a specialist—needs to
model, encourage, and enable integration, but
only a classroom teacher can integrate
technology with content-area teaching.

4. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
• Effective technology integration is achieved
when its use supports curricular goals. It
must support four key components of
learning: active engagement, participation in
groups, frequent interaction and feedback,
and connection to real-world experts.

5. CLASSROOM
• Classrooms are found in educational
institutions of all kinds, including public and
private schools, home schools,
corporations, and religious and
humanitarian organizations. The classroom
attempts to provide a safe space where
learning can take place uninterrupted by
other distractions.

6. PLANNING FOR TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION IN THE
CLASSROOM

7. STEP 1: PLAN YOUR LESSON
WITHOUT THE TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION FIRST
• If you do not teach a specific subject area, decide
what type of lesson you want to teach (i.e. math,
social studies, science, etc.).
• Once you know the subject area, start developing
your goals and objectives of the lesson (without the
technology integration).
• Develop your entire lesson without the technology
integration first.

8. STEP 2: KNOW YOUR
RESOURCES
• Do you have the proper equipment in the
school for your lesson (i.e., computer lab,
individual computer in the class, Ipads, Cell
phones, Internet Access, etc.)?

9. STEP 3: RESEARCH THE
TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS THAT
CORRELATE WITH YOUR LESSON
• Identify the technology skills needed by students to
complete the planned activity in the lesson: You can
write these down on the side or write/type them into
your lesson. Once you know what specific
technology skills are needed, then it’s time to
research!
• If your school has a curriculum plan with technology
standards, look there first. If your school DOES
NOT have a technology curriculum, visit the
Department of Education webpage. Most state

10. STEP 4: WRITE LEARNING
OBJECTIVES/PERFORMANCE
OBJECTIVES THAT INCLUDE
TECHNOLOGY
• Use the technology standards you have
found and your initial learning objectives to
develop specific objectives that include the
technology integration

11. STEP 5: KNOW HOW YOU WILL
ASSESS THE TECHNOLOGY
COMPONENT OF YOUR LESSON
• Will you use a rubric?
Will you use teacher
observation? How will you know if students
understand both the instructional content
and the technology you integrated?

12. STEP 6: PLAN YOUR LESSON
WITH THE TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION
• Either add or rewrite your performance objectives
with the technology integration
• In your lesson plan, be sure to add your
assessment of both the instructional content and
the technology component.
• Be sure to include the technology resources you
use in your lesson plan.
