Integrating Technology: A School-Wide Framework to Enhance Learning

Effective technology integration isn’t about what technology you have, it’s about how you use it. And how you use it depends on so much more than just curriculum, or just devices, or just pedagogy. It depends on having a purpose-based, holistic, and student-centered approach to integrating all aspects of technology in learning.

In Integrating Technology we outline six key elements–purpose, mindset, pedagogy, curriculum, resources and infrastructure, and leadership–that have an influence on the effectiveness of technology integration. We guide you through the process of examining these elements in detail, presenting a vision for why they matter, how they connect, and how you can take steps to develop effective technology integration within your practice or your school.

We share practical ideas, advice, and examples that offer concrete support to help teachers and administrators plan for, scaffold, and use the technology you have for the benefit of student learning. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to technology integration, but we believe that wherever you are in the world, and whatever your role in education is, you can harness the power of the technology you have to make teaching and learning more meaningful, relevant, and effective for everyone.

To help you take the ideas in Integrating Technology and apply them in your school, we also offer a 2-day in-school workshop.
