Integrating Technology Into Your Classroom

#Whatisschool March 26, 2015 7PM EDT

Last week #whatisschool took an in-depth look at education technology, the highs and lows and what successful educators are looking for in apps.   This week we continue the conversation focusing on integrating EdTech into lessons and educating parents and administrators about technology use in your classroom.

"Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally. The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions -- as accessible as all other classroom tools." – National Educational Technology Standards For Students, International Society For Technology In Education.

So how do you successfully integrate technology into your lesson plans?
