Integration of Technology
Key Questions to Consider
- How can you maximize the instructional impact of your existing technology resources?
- How can you balance resources for hardware, software, personnel, and professional development to reach curricular and instructional goals most effectively?
- How can you make sure your upcoming technology purchases will be best suited to meet the goals set forth in your technology plans?
Schools are now realizing the power of curriculum initiatives that seamlessly integrate technology tools into daily instruction. By identifying technology solutions and instructional strategies at the curriculum-development stage, administrators can act to maximize the impact of technology on school-wide teaching and learning and support the expansion of "pockets of technology integration excellence" that currently exist in most schools. What might make sense in the short term -- purchasing software in response to immediate needs , without exploring long range needs-- may, in the long run, cripple a school's integration of technology with its curriculum and instruction.
With multiple or disparate software programs around a school, supporting the teachers who are using software in any effective way becomes virtually impossible from a technical or educational perspective.
