There is a difference between technology use and technology integration in education. Technology use is simply using technology to complete tasks, like copying and pasting information for an assignment. Technology integration refers to using technology as a tool to enhance the learning process and meet the needs of diverse learners. Some ways to integrate technology include using databases for collecting and organizing data, semantic networking tools for creating concept maps, blogs for communication and sharing work, and podcasts for audio-based presentations. Technology integration is important because it can support meaningful learning by allowing students to reflect on and deepen their understanding of material through active engagement.
