According to http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/ Technology
integration is using computers effectively and efficiently in the general
content areas to allow students to learn how to apply computer skills in
meaningful ways. It is not unusual that technology ubiquitous and used in
almost everything that we do in this era. As educators technology has been a
very effective tool to store and share information, carryout task and aid in
preparing for a task.
It is of vital importance to integrate technology in
the teaching and learning process, however if the teacher is not cognizant of how to use the different
technology he/she should be adequately supported so as to aid in providing students
with rich experiences using the technology to learn. In integrating the
technology in the classroom it allow students to develop problem solving skills
which are, students will want to explore and learn more about technology. The
technology can be used for demonstrating things in and outside of school, for
example a teacher could easily show a digital storytelling instead of reading
the stories to students. Technology also facilitate in a more student centred approach
in the classroom (Active engagement, frequent interaction and participation).
The integration of technology has a lot of importance as well as benefits and
in using technology it will help the teacher to carry out a lesson effectively
and enhance students learning.
