Suggestions For The Integration Of Technology

Heuristics highlighted in this chapter on the Integration of Technology:

• Be explicit about the purpose for which the technology is being used.

• Conduct appropriate evaluations: matching the purposes for using the technology with the appropriate methods and measurements.

• Manage the implementation process by incorporating empirically tested principles for successful integration of technology.

• Distinguish between developing instruction with technology and delivering instruction with technology.

• In developing instruction, choose the appropriate authoring system or language with systematic examination of the development requirements and the functions of the authoring system.

• For delivering instruction, apply the technology appropriate to the learning phase.
