TechIntegrationQuestions

Small Group Discussion
There has been much research indicating increased student learning gains in classrooms where technology is used effectively, In the past, the primary hindrance to integrating technology was inadequate access. In recent years, more and more computers have been placed in classrooms and, for the most part, those classrooms are now connected to the Internet. However, many teachers are still at an entry level when it comes to using technology with their students.


 * Discuss the following:**

What does effective technology integration look like to you? How wide spread is this effective use in your school? Are there some teachers who seem to integrate technology in a natural way while others struggle? What's the difference? Who determines when and how technology will be used? What legitimate barriers still exist that hinder effective use of technology? What specific kinds of professional development do you feel teachers need to move forward? What role can the principal play in advancing more effective use of technology?
