This document discusses a study that developed a path model to examine factors affecting technology integration in K-12 classrooms. The study found that teachers' computer proficiency had the strongest direct effect on technology integration. Additional factors that indirectly affected integration included teachers' beliefs about technology, availability of technical support, and teachers' readiness to adopt technology for instruction. The path model provides insight into relationships between teacher characteristics and effective technology use in classrooms.
