Keys for Effective Use
• Adequate Time for planning,
development and implementation of
effective learning activities.
• Collaboration with peers and experts.
• Individual/Team Specific Development
Activities.
• Organizational Accountability.
Integration Philosophies
• Curriculum should not be constrained
by technology
• Technology is to be transparent,
flexible, and reliable
• Technology supports curriculum.
Changes in programs are curriculum
driven not technology driven. The
relationship between curriculum and
technology must be a parallel process.
The Key Question Is:
Do We Have
Technology in Search of Instruction
or
Instruction in Search of Technology
