Lesson 4: Basic Concepts on Integrating Technology in Instruction

        How can we properly integrate educational technology in the teaching learning process? Is technology already integrated in instruction by just the mere use of computer? Of course, not. Some computer games may not be related to education. They are only created for entertainment purposes.
       We really need know how educational technology can be applied and integrated in the educative process. According to Pisapia, "Integrating technology with teaching means the use of learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend skills...
    The difference between the classrooms of exemplary usersnof technology and technology users is the way their classes are conducted. In the exemplary classrooms, student use of computers is woven integrally into the patterns of teaching; software is natural extension of student tools." 
      Based on the definition, the integrative process would only take place when technology is used to enhance the learning process as well as the teaching process and the quality of instruction is improved to a higher level. As future educators, we should be advocates of educational technology and that let us integrate technolgy in our instruction.
