Effective StrategiesÂ
for Technology Integration
How can Technology Integration impact students?
Effective technology integration can provide students with more meaningful opportunities to engage with standards-aligned content, as well as each other, through discussion and collaboration. It allows teachers to engage students in valuable higher-order thinking and questioning and activities. Technology also provides a vehicle for which students can show mastery and/or creativity by generating products, such as performance tasks. Student engagement, discussion and collaboration, higher-order thinking, and demonstrating mastery, all lead to increased student achievement.
How can this website be a resource for teachers?
On this site are examples of effective strategies for teachers to use with students, organized by grade band (K-3, 4-8, and 9-12), and content area (ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies). Each page is organized by strategies for student engagement, discussion and collaboration, higher-order thinking, and student generated products. Strategies will have sample activities linked that teachers can grab and use with students. Some of the K-3 ELA and 4-12 Math activities are also found in the Instructional Guides for ELA and Math. This site will continue to grow with more strategies and examples being added across grades and content areas on a regular basis.
