When we integrate technology we need to do three things’ The first thing we need to do is is ask “why are we integrating technology into education?”. Mariana answers this question perfectly his article Digital Technology Nexus for a New Era in Education. He says we integrate technology “to solve problems in new ways in order to delight and engage users”. This means that we use technology to solve problems occurring in the classroom in a more innovative way. The second thing we need to do is decide what goals we want to achieve from integrating technology into the education. A couple goals every educator should want to achieve are to produce learning, improve the quality of learning, use technology to help create a powerful learning environment and have students of varying learning abilities be successful(Mariana 2018). The other goals can be decided by the educator and/or their students. The last thing educators need to do to is when deciding what technology to incorporate the into the classroom, not only should they consider the goals they set up but they need to consider student’s interests, learning preferences, learning styles, learning differences, and learning strengths and weakness(Mariana 2018). With this knowledge, educators can choose the best technology to fit their student’s needs.
