Integrating technology into the classroom can be very scary to some teachers. Teachers need the help and support to integrate technology into their classroom to help aid learning. It is important that learning is the number one focus when integrating technology.
I believe that technology integration is using technology effectively in the classroom to help enhance student learning while it is still aligned with the GPS. Technology integration needs to help to benefit the students and not be used just because a teacher is told to use technology. Egbert states in her book that effective teaching and learning should drive technology use. Technology also needs to be focused on what students learn.

On this This blog I will be posting information about integrating technology into the classroom and reflections on projects I complete during my MEDT 7464 Integrating Technology into the Classroom course. The purpose will be to have many ways to integrate technology that can all be found in one place and that can be helpful to anyone that is looking for useful ways to integrate technology into their classroom.
Niki -- good design and color combinations. However, maybe you need to adjust the text color on your blog description. The contrast is not that strong against the background. * Dr. B
