There is a difference between technology use and technology integration. Technology use is simply using technology like computers, phones, or tablets, while technology integration incorporates technology into daily classroom routines and lessons to actively engage students. When technology is integrated, students use tools like interactive whiteboards, digital cameras, or response systems to explore topics independently and think critically rather than just listening passively. Technology integration leaves a lasting impression on students and allows them to develop technology skills that will be important for their future.
