to innovative resources.
Stages to Technology Integration

Entry Stage Transformation Stage

Adaptation Stage
Entry Stage

• Although educators, students and the community are aware that technology creates new
possibilities for learning and teaching, the system is slow to change.
• Access to computers is frequently an issue at the entry stage. It is often a time when teachers
slightly modify classroom activities to include technology.
• For example, instead of having students conduct research with print resources, teachers will
bring students to a computer lab. However, the nature of the activity stays the same. This can
be a frustrating stage for many teachers. Collaborating with other teachers to exchange
learning activities and ideas can help entry-stage teachers move ahead to the next stage
Adaptation Stage

• At this stage, technology becomes thoroughly integrated into teaching patterns. Teachers at
this stage are often excited about using technology to prepare and present information.
• Teachers become more comfortable with having students pursue individual interests, but
they still design and direct the activities.
• These teachers need to see effective models and lessons for integrating technology to help
them envision a more student-centered learning environment. Collaboration and mentoring
are critical at this stage.
Transformation Stage

• At this stage, technology widely changes and expands the learning environment.
• Transformation-stage teachers use technology seamlessly in the classroom. Project-based
learning activities are common, and students are self-directed. Students have many
opportunities to design their own learning pathways, and teachers utilize new forms of
assessment.
• There is an emphasis on higher-order thinking. These teachers continue to innovate and
expand on technology use as new tools become available. Teachers at this stage should
continue to collaborate with other teachers and mentor other

SCHOOL CLASSROOMS
For younger students, technology can be used to build fundamental skills to prepare them for future
independent learning. Students can use interactive games to reinforce math, spelling, phonetic, and reading
skills. Sites like Spelling Training permit students or teachers to upload their own word lists to practice
word pronunciation and create interactive games. Parents can also use these sites to exercise fundamental
skills beyond the walls of the classroom.

As students begin to take steps to transform into independent thinkers, they can use technology to develop
basic life skills. Students at the middle school level will gain independence by having different teachers
for each subject. Using technology to acquire skills such as conducting research can be applied to any
content area. Websites like Easy Bib guide students to find credible sources through a variety of search
engines and teach students to correctly cite those sources to avoid plagiarism.

Once students reach their secondary education, they can discover ways to use technology that can be
beneficial for college and career development. Familiarization with Microsoft Office and Google Drive
teach students to make spreadsheets, slide show presentations, and share documents where they can
receive fluid feedback on their work. Many careers use these elements of Microsoft and Google to
organize information and collaborate between colleagues or clients.
