Assignment: Analyze Examples of Technology Integration
To ensure that educationally focused technologies are effective in teaching, many factors must be considered. Some of these include the learner characteristics, the environments in which they will be used (online, face-to-face, or combination), the applicability to the learning objectives, ease-of-use, qualities that foster high levels of student engagement, critical thinking, and more. Read the Assessing Classroom Technology Integration article https://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech243.shtml , which gives you some good ideas for how to evaluate technology integration in the classroom. Examine several of the Examples of Effective and Ineffective Technology Integration listed below. The complete references for these examples are listed in the Week Two Resources document.
