Technology Integration Teaching Module

Posted by Steve Denniston on 1st May 2008

On my personal time, I’m developing a wiki that focuses on the role of technology with the strategies discussed in Robert Marzano’s book, Classroom Instruction That Works. In the process of doing some research, I found this fairly simple “technology integration teaching module” produced by Edutopia (George Lucas Education Foundation). For many who read this post, an introduction to technology integration may seem ‘elementary’, but you may know of someone who is wrestling with the value of technology integration and how to tackle the challenge of learning the skills needed to effectively integrate. The ‘module’ includes four major sections: (1) Why is technology integration important? (2) What is tech integration? (3) How to integrate technology, and (4) Tech Integration Resources. There is also a self-assessment survey to evaluate areas for growth. While not the primary focus of the teaching module, several comments (pro and con) have been posted about the importance of teaching keyboarding skills.
