Chapter 9 / Technology Integration in the Content Area, Including Early Childhood, Educationally Challenged, and Multidisciplinary Units

Q:  What factors must the teacher consider when planning to integrate technology?
A:  The same consideration should be taken when integrating technology into the classroom as you would for any other lesson plan.  Treat all lesson plans the same - always ask yourself these questions: What will my students get from this lesson? - Is this appropriate for the age group/grade level of my class? - What materials will be needed? - What background knowledge do the students already have for this lesson? - I think you get the Idea.  For more questions to ask yourself go to page 240.  Not only do these questions need to be considered but, there are a few technology ones as well (see page 240).  When using technology teachers should always back up their work.
