Tech Integration VS Tech Use: Enhancing Learning

Thursday October 10, 2024 9:45am - 10:45am EDT

Washington

Using technology is fun and engaging for students but it can often be seen as a toy not a tool. Technology integration isn’t just bringing in technology to the classroom, it is incorporating it in a way that enhances learning. We will explore the difference between just using tech with learning and integrating technology in a way that enhances learning in the classroom.
