=Planning for Technology Integration: Grades K-5=

~John Dewey
====Why is technology integration important? Technology touches all aspects of our lives. It's our students' reality and it has the capability of engaging and motivating even the hard-to-reach students. In order to prepare students to be ready for college and career, they need to be using technology seamlessly in their classes for learning on a regular basis.====

=**SAMR** – created by Dr Ruben R. Puentedura in the early 1990s is a way of using technology to have the greatest impact on student learning. In the SAMR model, teachers move from using technology as a substitute to using technology to redefine learning through the creation of tasks inconceivable without technology. =

=**TPACK** – created by Dr Matthew Koehler and Dr Punya Mishra in 2006 involves an interplay of 3 different forms of knowledge: technology, pedagogy and content. An expert teacher brings together a knowledge of the subject matter, a knowledge of learning and a knowledge of technology. TPACK involves understanding how technology can support and enhance learning. =
