What is Integrated Activity ?

In the context of technology:
integrating technology into the curriculum is a priority, if
not a mandate in most schools today
most educational technology experts agree, however,

that technology should be integrated, not as a separate

subject or as a once-in-a-while project, but as a tool to
promote and extend student learning on a daily basis
the challenge, of course, is in finding ways to use

technology -- and to help students use it -- that don't take

time away from core subjects.

Consider the following Integrated Activities :

Access an online weather forecast

( The Weather Channel, UM Weather, USA Today

Weather)
Include URLs in your monthly calendar

( Yahoo kids, Months of the Year Projects )

Access online weather forecasts in French, German, or

Spanish
( learning in other languages)
Challenge students with online mathematics problems.

some more Integrated Activities

Provide a URL in place of a quote

( quote of the day, quote of the week, etc.)

Introduce a word of the day

( for opening activity, e.g., Word Central)

Keep them spelling
( Spellingcity.com)
Make history real
( quick visit to Today in History, This Day in History )
Utilize online work sheets

(creative writing activity through Teachnology, Writing Bug, Scavenger

Why is Technology Integration

Needed?
Education leaders have recognized the
importance of students learning how to
use technology and have enacted new
technology standards that require
teachers to integrate the use of technology
into the curriculum for every subject.

They have seen the great need for

students to learn to
use technology as a part of their daily
lives in order to
prepare themselves for a future filled
with technology

Rationale for using Technology in Education :

1. Technology provides motivation for students by:
-Gaining learner attention
-Engaging the learner through production work
-Increasing perceptions of control
2. Technology offers unique instructional capabilities,
such as :
-Linking learners to information and educational
resources
-Helping learners visualize problems and solutions
-Tracking learner progress
-Linking learners to learning tools

more rationale.
3. Technology gives support for new instructional
approaches, such as:
-Cooperative learning
-Shared intelligence
-Problem solving and higher level skills
4. Technology skills are required for an information age:
-Technology literacy
-Information literacy
-Visual literacy

continuation
5. Technology increased teacher productivity by:
-freeing time to work with students by helping
with production and record-keeping tasks
-providing more accurate information more
quickly
-allowing teachers to produce better looking,
more student-friendly materials more
quickly
