Week 3

What does quality technology integration look like?

Exemplary Technology Use.

Think back to remember your most favorite teachers. Did you learn the most from them? What was different about those teachers? Now think about using technology. Can any of those characteristics you talked about with your favorite teachers be applied to how they would use technology? During this week, we will be discussing what makes technology use exemplary. Should we always use technology? Are there situations when technology is not helpful, or even sometimes hurtful?
