tool for student learning. Four areas of the TPACK model; technology, content, pedagogy and
student learning needs were considered in the revision. Technology is everywhere, touching
almost every part of our lives, our schools and our homes. Properly used, technology will
assist students gain the skills they need to endure in a complex, highly technological
knowledge-based economy. Integrating technology into classroom instruction is more than
teaching basic computer skills and software programs in a independent computer class.
Effective and efficient technology integration must be across the curriculum in ways that
enhance the learning process. In particular, it technology must sustain four key areas of
learning; active engagement, feedback, interaction, and connection to the real world. Efficient
and effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and
when technology strengthens curricular goals.
I believe that technology enabled project learning is the present (and future) of classroom
instruction. Education through projects while equipped with technology apparatus allows all
students, general education and special education, to be mentally challenged while providing
them with a realistic snapshot of what the modern world looks like. Through projects,
students attain and process their analysis and problem-solving skills as they work
independently and in groups to synthesize, find and process information. The countless means
of the online world also affords each classroom with more motivating, varied, and up to date
learning materials. The Web connects students to experts in the real world and provides
abundant opportunities for expressing perception through text, images and sound. Technology
also changes the way educators teach, presenting teachers valuable ways to reach different
types of learners from general education (main stream) to special education students, and
assess their comprehension through various means. Technology also enhances the connection
between student and their teacher. When technology is efficiently and effectively incorporated
into subject areas, teachers become more of an adviser. In the below lesson plan, technology
tools are being utilized to visualize and model what the instructor wants from their students.
As an added benefit, the technology tools and a project-learning approach means that the
students are more likely to stay occupied and on task, reducing behavioral problems in the
classroom.
By adding technology to the lesson plan, the supporting changes are made to be central to
achieving substantial understanding of what the instructor is attempting to get across. Other
technology; e.g. laptops, storybooks, etc could also be utilized to improve the lesson planning
within the areas of pedagogy, content, and student learning needs. Used to reinforce lesson
plans, technology provides classrooms with learning tools to accelerate learning and increase
student motivation and engagement. With so many technological advances in the world today,
integrating technology into the classroom and lesson plan is a fairly easy process. When
technology integration in the classroom is well thought out, students not only become more
engaged, they begin to take more hegemony over their own learning. Efficient and effective
technology integration changes classroom dynamics and encourages more student-centered
project-based learning for all students, including those who are learning disabled.
Schools around the country have learned that integrating technology into the classroom
curriculum is the approach that provides the best outcome for student retention and provides
the best attainment results. Technology integration into lesson planning is an significant way
to create meaningful learning experiences to students of all levels; from the general education
student to the learning disabled student. Lesson planning for teachers can be overwhelming
when incorporating the use of computers in activities and therefore, when designing
computer-based activities into the lesson plan, you must give consideration to how the
technology can be used to attain, manage, express, and communicate information that the
teacher is trying to extend to the students. The planning procedure for technology integration
is analogous to planning a curriculum unit with the main differences being how the students
gain the information and skills, how they express and relate the knowledge and skills, and
how the learning will be assessed or evaluated. These differences have an important affect on
the composition of a lesson plan as a teacher incorporates the use of technology.
