Technology Integration is doing the same thing we’ve always done…but better.
 * Communicate -
 * Podcasts, Skype, e-mail, voicethread, blogs, forums, wikis
 * Access Information/Research - virtual field trips, museums
 * Practice - Interactive multimedia/websites; collaboration - writeboard, dabbleboard, wikis
 * Present - iMovie, brochures, powerpoint, Prezi
 * Assess/Reflect - blogs, digital journals


 * It is about objectives, appropriate activities and aligned assessment.
 * It is about solutions to problems - about meting needs - about helping students prepare for the future.
