There is a difference between technology use and technology integration in education. Technology integration emphasizes incorporating technology resources and practices into daily classroom routines, work, and management in a way that is active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative. It recognizes technology as an important part of the 21st century academic curriculum. Technology use simply involves using technology like computers for typing reports or PowerPoints without focusing on how it can be integrated into teaching and learning. Technology integration emphasizes the educational importance of technology, while technology use does not.
