Tech integration is a way of combining between teaching and technology to make puppils understand lessons very well. This is by using designed applications for learning and teaching like animoto, adobe sparks etc.

you have been paying attention at all, you know K-12 education is undergoing a revolution in technology and teaching techniques not seen since pencil and paper replaced slate; the introduction of digital technology in the classroom. It is difficult to find any school related article which doesn’t discuss technology and its use in the classroom. Ed tech is purported to be necessary in helping teachers educate students in 21st century skills. This change necessitates new teaching strategies. The teacher is no longer the fount of knowledge but the guide. image Teachers do seem increasingly confident about the better quality and usefulness of digital tools and know that this revolution is here to stay because it mirrors the changes in our society. Despite the hoopla, not everyone is enamored by this change. For teachers, it is a love/hate relationship. There are still those who distrust the push toward ed tech. A few suspect this is another “new thing” that will go the way of previous education fads that have burst onto the scene only to wither and fade away. In the last few years, this thought has begun to wilt in the face of the overwhelming daily use of technology. Cell phones have evolved into smart phones which are really minicomputers capable of nearly anything with the introduction of apps. Need we be concerned about cell phone addiction?

Tech integration makes teaching and the entire process easier for both the students and the teacher. I have seen a drastic improvement in effective learning of the children when they are taught with the help of interactive white boards or similar tech gadgets and props.

Technology has become integrated in the classroom in so many ways, that we often don't even think about how we are using it. The Education World Tech Team offers lessons and activities to help educators make better use of technology tools for instruction, and to help students improve their technology skills within the context of the regular curriculum. Included: Integration activities that utilize the Web, PowerPoint, Excel, digital photography, SMART Boards, and more.

 

In more and more schools today, technology is recognized as an instructional tool, not as a subject of instruction. Still, many educators, less familiar and less comfortable with technology than their students, struggle to seamlessly integrate a growing list of technology tools into their regular curriculum. So, to help you make the best use of technology in your schools and classrooms this year, we asked the Education World Tech Team to share some of their favorite technology integration lessons, activities, and strategies with you.

"Using technology in the classroom is becoming easier for teachers," instructional technology consultant Jamye Swinford told Education World. "Students are coming to class with more skills. Whether a teacher requires it or not, most students use technology for their projects."

Probably the technology tool used most often for student projects is the World Wide Web.

Necessary in this age where social media platforms run life. Students need to be well integrated and informed in digital media and to utilize these technologies in their learning journey.

As I think, classroom integration will help young people become closer and more connected and will work together to improve their knowledge and skills.

Of course technology is not only plays an important role in teaching students but also part and parcel of today's education system. Explaining things through screens or monitors using visuals not only help students to learn fast but also creates curiosity and interest to learn.

Technology in the classroom is very important. The latest approaches to education in the calssroom is to include technology to allow students to gain the necessary skills available to them. This also allows students with different learning styles to participate on a variety of levels.
