Rationale for Technology IntegrationRationale for Technology Integration
• Language arts is just reading and writing, right? Wrong. Technology is vital in deepening students’ interest and understanding of figurative language. We can use technology to strengthen our speaking and listening skills, to research and communicate with experts on the subject, and to participate in interactive learning experiences through the media.
• This presentation will show you how teachers can integrate blogs, podcasts, videos, music clips, apps, SMART Board activities, and interactive websites into their classrooms to collaborate with students and develop twenty-first century learning skills.
