Cyborg Learning: Technology Integration in the Classroom
There is no Escaping Technology... ...whether we like it or not, it's here to stay for good. Over the last two centuries, the number of technological advancements have skyrocketed exponentially; it seems like every day there is some new invention being advertised. So why not bring that technology into the classroom? Luckily, integrating what might seem like complicated and unrelated technology into the classroom is not as hard as you think, thanks to Technology Integration Models , which detail different methods for meaningfully incorporating aspects of technology into the learning environment. Each technology integration model specifies different levels of technology integration, like the SAMR model, whose incorporation of technology ranges from pure substitution to utilization for the creation of new things (SAMR article). Although there are many integration models, the three main ones are SAMR , Triple E (not the mosquito one), and TPACK . All of these are great fra...
