2. The integration of technology in learning is not
new. In the 1980s, many schools had fancy
calculators, Macintosh computers, and were even
teaching students basic coding.
This kind of integration often happened at the
lesson or activity level, meaning that it was often
surface-level, tacked-on, and perhaps a bit
superficial.
3. The power of technology is difficult to fully
leverage without curriculum-level integration. This
means choosing tools, platforms, and policies
based on standards, assessment, and instruction.
A side benefit to this approach is the possibility of
teacher collaboration and “same-pageness.”
