Technology Integration

In class today I learnt about technology integration.  Technology Integration is the use of technology tools in general content areas in education in order to allow students to apply computer and technology skills to learning and problem-solving. The media types used in technology are print – text, radio – audio, television which is both video and graphics.  In technology Integration the teacher takes the role of manager and facilitator of the technology use, and the students actively engaged in the learning process by doing researches on the various technologies and becoming competent in the use of technology.  The computer is a tool used to enhance learning through the use of real world data to solve problems. In technology integration the lesson is student-centered, problem based,  this means that the students get the opportunity to come up with their own ideas and is able to use situation out there in the real world to solve problems.
