Define Technology Integration

Objectives:

Acquaint participants with the Inquiry Model, and explain how it will be used as a framework for the Institute

Familiarize the participants with one another

List working definitions of technology integration for all participants and facilitators

Create a knowledge database of participants expectations, perceived technology skill level, and attitudes towards technology

Activity

Each teacher writes a one-sentence definition of technology integration on a large strip of poster board.

The teachers sign the strips and then post them at the front of the room.

Ask each teacher to read their statement, as a means of introduction and explain their definition.

We usually would save these definitions for the Wrap-Up Workshop. We would share them with participants and ask them in what ways their definitions of technology integration had changed during the institutes.
