The document discusses technology integration in education. It defines technology integration as using technology resources in content areas to allow students to meaningfully apply computer skills in real-world situations. Some key barriers to integration are lack of teacher training, limited planning time, and budget constraints. The document outlines different stages of integration from familiarization to revolution. It provides examples of ways to integrate technology like virtual field trips, webquests, and interactive whiteboards. Effective integration facilitates problem-solving learning rather than just knowledge dispensation.

Barriers to Technology Integration • Lack of teacher training • Security constraints • Lack of administration support • Limited time for teacher planning • Placement of computers in remote locations • Budget constraints • Lack of high-speed school networks • Basic resistance to change 12
Technology Integration Changing the Way We Teach • Facilitating learning – not dispensing knowledge • Co-creators of product and projects • Problem-solving as a group • Guiding and tutoring
Familiarize Become aware of technology and it’s potential uses
Utilize Teachers use technology but get frustrated with even minor problems and don’t use
Integrate Technology becomes essential for the educational process and teachers begin to think constantly about how to integrate technology into their classrooms
Reorientation Teachers begin to rethink the educational goals of the classroom with the use of technology
Revolution The classroom evolves into a completely integrated model of technology in all subject areas. Technology becomes a tool that is as seamless as textbooks, pens, paper and the chalkboard.
