A Vision of K-12 Students Today
What is Technology Integration?
"Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally. The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions -- as accessible as all other classroom tools."-- NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS FOR STUDENTS, INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
Effective Technology Integration
When utilized effectively, successful integration can and will extend student learning in a variety of ways:
- Access to up-to-date, primary source material
- Methods of collecting/recording data
- Ways to collaborate with students, teachers, and experts around the world
- Opportunities for expressing understanding via multimedia
- Learning that is relevant and assessment that is authentic
- Training for publishing and presenting their new knowledge
Types of Technology Integration
- Online Learning and Blended Classrooms
- Project-Based Activities Incorporating Technology

In the Beginning:
- Need to establish a Chromebook routine with expectations for care and use

What is Blended Learning?
Blended learning as the combination of digital content and activity with face-to-face content and activity. When a teacher has an activity that works well face-to face, there isn't any reason to look for a digital replacement. If they can find something digital that is more effective or efficient, then that is implemented.
