The lesson clearly states that the mere use of a computer does not mean that there is integration of technology in education. Computer games doesn't substitute instructional materials. Integrating technology with teaching means the use of learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend skills.
Indications of technology integration in instruction are:
- If the quality of education is improved to a higher level.
- If there is planning by the teacher on the process of determining what kind of technology fits with the current lesson.
- If the use of technology provides the opening of opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/problems.
Back in high school, the only technology integration we experienced were from the television, VHS, DVD, overhead projectors and computers.
