QUESTION 1

Research has shown that integrating technology into the classroom can enhance student
learning (Krentler & Willis-Flurry, 2010). According to Byers (2014) teachers are the
gatekeepers of the classroom which means that the use of technology in the classroom lies
in the hands of the teachers. Hence, it is indeed crucial to explore factors influencing
technology integration in classroom instruction.

Write an essay on the factors that influence technology integration in classroom

instruction.

Support your essay by citing experts, theories, and/or research related to this essay. Include
a suitable title for your essay.

Cite at least THREE (3) articles which may be sourced from journals, books, and/or reports.
The essay should be presented in an organised and coherent manner.
