Here are external manifestations of technology integration into instruction.

There’s a change in the

way classes are traditionally conducted.

The quality of instruction is improved to a

higher level in such a way that could not have been achieved without educational

technology.

There is planning by the teacher on the process of determining how and when technology fits into the teaching-learning process.

The teacher sets instructional strategies to address specific instructional issues/problems.

The use of technology provides the opening of opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/problems.

In sum, technology occupies a position(is a simple or complex way) in the instructional process.

Helping teachers effectively integrate technology by:• Learning the basics of using technology.• Using technology to support instruction.• Integrating new technology into classroom

practice.• Discovering new uses for technology tools or

designing projects that combine multiple technologies.

• Focusing on cooperative, project-based and interdisciplinary work with technology being just one of many tools that students use.

The use of modern software technology in schools as part of the learning process has many levels. Most teachers start from a simple or basic integration such as the use of computer to present more vivid and clearer illustrations of the subject matter to be learned. They can also ask students to send thru e-mail assigned task. From these simple utilization of the computer, the teacher can create activities involving the students in team work by giving them specific situations wherein they use computer based materials to come up with the assigned tasks.

There is actually nothing to be worry about for teachers who are still novices in technology integration because learning how would really take time. Technology integration into instruction is develop mental and takes a gradual road to mastery and expertise. In time, a teacher can advance from basic integration to more complicated integrations
