Technology Integration



Technology integration is the use of technological tools in general content areas in education to enable students to apply computer and technology skills to learn and solve problems. In general, the curriculum encourages the use of technology and not the other way around. Technology integration is defined as the use of technology to enhance and support the educational environment. The integration of technology in the classroom can also support classroom teaching by creating opportunities for students to complete assignments on computers rather than with regular pencil and paper.


Integrating technology with standardized curricula can not only give students a sense of power, but also enable more advanced learning among a broad range of topics. However, this technology requires infrastructure, maintenance and continuous improvement – ​​one of the determining elements, among many, how this technology can be used for curriculum purposes and whether or not it will be successful. Examples of infrastructure required to operate and support technology integration in schools include at the elementary level electricity, Internet service providers, routers, modems, and personnel to maintain the network, beyond the initial cost of hardware and software.

Technology integration in some cases can be a problem. A high student to technology ratio has been shown to hinder or slow down learning and task completion. In some cases, integrated technology-centered dyadic peer interactions have been shown to develop a more cooperative sense of social connection. The success or failure of technology integration is highly dependent on factors outside the technology. The availability of appropriate software for the technology being integrated is also problematic in terms of software accessibility for students and educators. Another problem identified with technology integration is the lack of long-term planning for these tools in the educational districts they use.
