Technology Integration

We've spent the majority of the day focusing on technology integration in a couple of different ways. Through completing center activities, hopefully you saw how the ISTE NETS and the North Carolina ITES can be easily integrated into instruction. In looking at the Technology Integration Planning Model, hopefully you began thinking about what should go into the planning process as you begin creating technology integrated lessons and activities. A huge part of ensuring success of technology integrated lessons is making sure that ISTE's Essential Conditions are met. These are the 14 conditions that ISTE says must be present in order to effectively leverage technology for learning.

Take some time to read each of the essential conditions. If your school or classroom were to be assessed on these conditions, how do you think they would rate? As you think of your response and reasons for your rating, you can use the resources linked below for inspiration:
