I think that this website would be a useful technology resource for teaching because it talks about how to create different websites and use different technology tools.
Technology integration is the use of technology resources
in daily classroom practices, and in the management of a school
Successful technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is:
Routine and transparent
Accessible and readily available for the task at hand
Supporting the curricular goals, and helping the students to effectively reach their goals
Seamless integration is when students are not only using technology daily, but have access to a variety of tools that match the task at hand and provide them the opportunity to build a deeper understanding of content
teachers are also exploring blended learning -- a combination of both online and face-to-face education
Many of the most rigorous projects are infused with technology from start to finish
There has been a lot of buzz about the benefits of incorporating simulations and game-based learning activities into classroom instruction
devices like cell phones, mp3 players, and tablet computers are now being used as learning tools in forward-thinking schools
One of the first, and most basic, ways that teachers encouraged kids to use technology was with online research, virtual field trips, and webquests
One of the central ideas of digital or media literacy is that students should be come creators and critics, not just consumers, of media
Connecting with others online can be a powerful experience, both for teachers and for students
Though social media tools are still blocked in many schools, students around the world spend vast amounts of time on social networks outside of school
The ultimate goal of technology integration is to completely redefine how we teach and learn, and to do things that we never could before the technology was in our hands
