Integrating Technology in the classroom


Integrating technology into the curriculum is a priority, if not a mandate, in most schools today. Most educational technology experts agree, however, that technology should be integrated, not as a separate subject or as a once-in-a-while project, but as a tool to promote and extend student learning on a daily basis. The challenge, of course, is in finding ways to use technology, and to help students use it, that doesn’t take time away from core subjects.
For many teachers, a lack of personal experience with technology, presents an additional challenge. In order to incorporate technology-based activities and projects into their curriculum, those teachers first must find the time to learn to use the tools and understand the terminology necessary for participation in those projects or activities.

The internet provides us with various software that can be used to teach any particular lesson.
