Technology Integration Technology is an amazing way to engage students. In some areas of education, technology access is not equally distributed, which limits what some areas could do if they had the resources. For example, in art, the use of a document camera would allow for the use of art history books to display relevant images, instead of the costly prints that teachers spend the majority of their budget on. Also, this technology would allow for demonstrations to be seen more easily by the entire class, instead of just at one table for demonstration. However, currently, the document cameras are housed by classroom teachers and have priority over the use of the equipment. Classroom teachers at the elementary level do teach all core academic area, thus justifying their housing of the equipment, however, specialists could also benefit from the integration of advanced technologies in their classrooms as well.
I can see you too!
