- 7. In this 21st century, the term “technology” is an important issue in many fields including academic program. This is because technology has become the knowledge transfer highway in most countries in academic program. Technology integration nowadays has gone through innovations and transformed our societies that has totally changed the way people think, work and live . (Grabe, 2007) Yes! Technology and its integration is important .
- 8. Effective technology integration is achieved when its use supports curricular goals” (Technology Integration is Key). (Edutopia,2013) Why Integrate? (pair and share) Technologies do not bring about revolutions, people do.” )Denise Murray( integration in education generally means technology-based teaching and learning process that closely relates to the utilization of learning technologies in academic institutions (Jamieson-Procter et al., 2013).
- 9. The Difference Between Technology Use And Technology Integration Technology Integration: • Classroom use • Teacher uses technology in order to teach curriculum in a more entertaining way • Student use • Specific/Centered on learning • Purposeful/Educational • Instructional • Connection between subjects • Critical thinking • Collaboration • Everyday/Everywhere use • Everyone uses technology • Broad/Disconnected from subject matter • Too procedural & isolated • Entertainment • Guided/Forced thinking • Individual Technology use :
- 10. Levels of Technology Integration Sparse: Technology is rarely used or available. Students rarely use technology to complete assignments or projects. Basic: Technology is used or available occasionally/often in a lab rather than the classroom. Comfortable: Technology is used in the classroom on a fairly regular basis. Seamless: Students employ technology daily in the classroom using a variety of tools to complete assignments and create projects that show a deep understanding of content. Mary Beth Hertz ,2013

Educational technology is good to the environment! 4. Thanks to technology, students enjoy learning! 5. Technology makes distance learning more accessible than ever!
- 15. The five Steps of Effective Technology Integration • Before using new technology enters the class, determine whether a relative advantage exists. Identify relative advantage • the next step is determining objectives and appropriate assessments. Determine objectives and assessments • when integrating technology into the class, take into consideration students’ readiness levels along with their physical and affective needs. Design instructional strategies • Equally important to designing mindful instructional strategies is ensuring that the learning environment is ready for new technology to be introduced. Prepare the instructional environment • this is the only step occurring after a given technology is introduced. Analyze results and make revisions
- 16. there are many ways technology can become an integral part of the learning process in academic program. Just a few of these ways are listed below , but new technology tools and ideas emerge daily. 1- Online Learning and Blended learning Class • While K-12 online learning gains traction around the world and many teachers are also exploring blended learning, a combination of both online and face-to-face education. K-12, a term used in education and educational technology in the United States, Canada, and possibly other countries goal of K-12 program is to make the students equipped with lot of skills that are in-demands in the country and in abroad
- 17. 2- Game-Based Learning and Assessment: There has been a lot of buzz about the benefits of incorporating simulations and game-based learning activities into classroom instruction. 3- Learning with Mobile and Handheld Devices: Once widely dismissed as distractions, devices like cell phones, mp3 players, and tablet computers are now being used as learning tools in forward- thinking in academic institutions. 4- Instructional Tools like Interactive Whiteboards and Student Response Systems, In many schools and institutes , the days of green chalkboards are over.
- 18. 5- Web-Based Projects, Explorations, and Research • One of the first, and most basic, ways that teachers encouraged students to use technology was with online research, virtual field trips, and web quests. 6- Student-Created Media like Podcasts, Videos, or Slideshows • One of the central ideas of digital or media literacy is that students should be come creators and critics, not just consumers, of media. 7- Collaborative Online Tools like Wikis or Google Docs • Connecting with others online can be a powerful experience, both for teachers and for students.
- 19. 8-Using Social Media to Engage Students students around the world spend vast amounts of time on social networks outside of academic centers.
- 20. Four models of technology integration TPACK SAMR TIM TIP
- 21. • 1- Content Knowledge: • Facts, concepts and theories This is the subject matter we are teaching like: Math, music, Art.etc.. 2- Pedagogical Knowledge: • expert knowledge of art and science of teaching from learning theories to instructional design. like direct instruction, inquiry based teaching, group discussion, debate.etc. 2- Technological knowledge: • it looks at the digital tools ( google Drive, ipad apps, Smart boards..etc ) • teachers can use to make content accessible to students while supporting the pedagogical strategy used in instruction. What's TPACK itscombinationof: What teacher know? How he tech? How technology is used?
- 22. Now lets look at the overlaps : TP knowledge: helps us to understand how are we making content more accessible. TC knowledge : allows us to identify the affordances of pairing appropriate technology to the content PC knowledge : allows us to identify the affordances of pairing the appropriate pedagogies with the content. https://www.educatorstechnology.com/2013 MishraandKohler(2006)
- 23. SAMR MODEL Enhancing and transforming the technology integration
- 24. Dr.RubenPuentedura, CreatorofSAMRmodel Substitution: A Word Processor replaces a Pen/Pencil in a Writing Assignment. Augmentation: A Word Processor and text- to-speech function are used to improve the writing process. Modification: The document created using the Word Processor and text-to-speech function is shared on a blog where feedback can be received to help improve the quality of writing. Redefinition: Instead of a written assignment, students convey analytic thought using multimedia tools. Assignment: A hand written paper.
- 25. For creating a tech integration vision, you should take certain points into consideration, they are listed below: The goal of technology integration: The aim should be to use technology to provide a variety of new ways to learn which foster. 21st century skills like independent thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration and more. Elements required for integrating technology: The common elements for tech integration are teachers, students, content and technology. Technology should help students learn new things in new ways and prepare them for the future
- 26. Other Ways of Integrating Technology into the Class and enabling learning 1. Making Use of the Gamify Learning Experience: Gaming has become a huge part of students’ lives. This is a great way to integrate technology into the learning experience by making a game of it. 2. Building Lesson Plans Using Differentiated Instruction and Tech: Tailoring your lesson plans to your students is increasing in popularity. For instance, by grouping students in a class based on their abilities can improve the effectiveness of the teaching message. 3. Develop a Class Website: There are a lot of fun ways to integrate technology into the class, but none as exciting for students as developing a class website. 4. Create a Classroom Blog: This is an excellent way to inspire students and keep them engaged in classroom activities. Blogs are also essential in teaching reading, writing, listening, using tech, and so much more. 5. Using Social Media as a Teaching Tool: For instance, you can pull a video from YouTube. Or you can use travel images of social media influencers as a discussion piece in class.
- 27. Successful technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is: Routine and transparent. Accessible and readily available for the task at hand. Supporting the curricular goals, and helping the students and teachers to effectively reach their goals.
- 28. Lack of confidence Lack of ICT confidence Lack Teachers' attitude Lack of time for preparation Lack of technical support Non perception of benefits
- 29. Insufficient number of computers Resistance to change Advance Scheduling of computer lab Lack of support from management Non-availability of Teaching-learning material Absence of ICT mainstreaming into schools/ institutions Schools/ institutions Level Barriers: System Level Barriers : System of examinations and evaluation Curriculum Load
- 30. Overcoming Teacher level barriers Giving training to the teachers Making ICT facilities available and accessible the teachers Preparing a flexible time table where teachers handling the same subject and grade can coordinate and avail computers in the classroom Seeking cooperation of teachers for optimal utilization of available resources Arranging for periodic training programmes for teachers to get up to date with technology. Giving incentives to teachers who are adopting technology successfully. Reducing the work load for teachers
- 31. Overcoming Institutions Level Barriers Using of computers should be made as mainstreaming into academic activities. Providing necessary infrastructure. Capacity building of the teachers through workshops. Changes in structuring of Time-table. Providing opportunities for teachers to engage in active learning. Providing training on technology-supported pedagogy skills. Making the technology use compulsory by teachers. Organizing available resources in such a way for best possible utilization
- 32. overcoming System level barriers solutions Reconsidering assessment methods Including qualitative assessment of students' work Allowing teachers to experiment with technology mediated within given boundaries
- 33. How To Overcome Barriers general In Technology Integration? Political decisions •Ministry of Education and Science plans and provides s academic institutions with proper resources (Lai 2001). Institute management •institutes can play a very important role in integrating ICT into the system of education Peer support •Reliable colleagues and Teachers can be provided help by sharing best practices to other institutes.. Barriers as opportunities •The emerged difficulties should be viewed as opportunities to develop. (Lai 2001). Teacher as learner •Teachers have to experience learner position. Teacher has to feel free and without any restrictions in the teaching environment.

Cheri Toledo, Illinois State University Expansion further movement in the department toward providing the needed education technology hardware, software and systematic training for faculty success in computer technology integration 1. strengthening of the relationships between the support personnel and the faculty 2. presence of these relationships produce positive impact on the faculty levels of use and integration 3. creation of an environment in which faculty are encouraged to risk trying new technologies and methodologies System-wide Integration evidence of the integration of standards proficiencies for students indicated computer technology being imbedded into each of the teacher education courses faculty and students enthusiasm for integration increases Continue ……….Model for Computer Technology Integration
- 39. CONCLUSIONS As technology integration into the learning and teaching process and the whole system of academic program is a rather complicated process, new conceptions, strategies, plans and models have to be developed by the MOHE and school administration which make full use of the potential of new technologies. An attempt to integrate technologies will be fruitful and efficient process only if it is preceded by proper planning provided by the MOHE and proper provision by resources for institutes / schools. The whole learning/teaching and change process of integrating the technology has to be flexible, and its efficiency depends on the motivation and preparation of the whole academic staff to implement innovations. There are four models of for integrating technology in class (TPACK,SMAR,TIP&TIM). By removing and overcoming to barrier's in academic program the teachers are able to integrate technology and enhance the quality of teaching and learning process.
