Theme: Increasing Technology Integration

I chose the theme of integration because I could see how it would work in my classroom. In order to integrate more technology into my lesson plans, I needed a good knowledge base of the tools out there and I needed to know how to start using them in my classroom in the best manner possible.

Goals met under this theme:

Students will be leaders in educational technology.

Students will be current in research technologies and designs.

Objectives:

-Students will demonstrate proficiency in teaching and assessing others in the use of computers and related technologies in a variety of educational settings.

-Students will understand the capabilities of the computer, its impact on education, business, industry, and government and will be able to adapt to, understand, and evaluate and make use of new and emerging innovations in computer and information technology.
