Wordle - Technology Integration

 


Technology has become a very important part of our lives. It shows its importance very well in school facilities. Through it, everything is easier for students who can use devices such as smartboards, mobile phones, computers, etc. Successful technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent, accessible, and readily available for the task at hand.

The most important thing is that technology should support the curricular goals, and helping the students to effectively reach their goals. The best thing technology can offer in my opinion is creativity. Creativity never stops, because through technology you can use many options to achieve your goals. New opportunities and new thoughts appear all the time you work. Nowadays people are more inclined to new things and technology is one of them. For students, technology has already become part of their lives which means they are more engaged in activities. 

Defining Technology Integration
Technology Integration does not mean when students simply use it throughout their day. It means when they use technology to create different tasks and have access to the tools that serve them to achieve their objectives.
When effectively integrated into the curriculum, technology tools can extend learning in powerful ways. These tools can provide students and teachers with:
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.

Some types of Technology Integration are: 
Online Learning and Blended Classrooms, 
Project-Based Activities Incorporating Technology,
Game-Based Learning and Assessment,
 Learning with Mobile and Handheld Devices,
 Instructional Tools like Interactive Whiteboards and Student Response Systems,
 Web-Based Projects, Explorations, and Research, 
Student-Created Media like Podcasts, Videos, or Slideshows,
 Collaborative Online Tools like Wikis or Google Docs
