LB#4: Basic Concepts on Integrating Technology in Instruction.

There is NO INTEGRATIVE PROCESS if for example the teacher makes the students play computer games to give them a rest period during classes. Neither is there integration, if the teacher merely teaches students computer skills.
External Manifestations of Technology Integration into Instruction are:

• There's a change in the way classes are traditionally conducted.
• The quality of instruction is improved to a higher level in such a way that could not have been achieved without educational technology.
• There is planning by the teacher on the process of determining how and when technology fits into the teaching-learning process.
• The teacher sets instructional strategies to address specific instructional issues/problems.
• The use of technology provides the opening of opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/problems.
• In sum, technology occupies a position (is a simple pr complex way) in the instructional process.
