Technology Integration is

• Effective integration of technology is achieved
  when students are able to select technology tools
  to help them obtain information in a timely
  manner, analyze and synthesize the information,
  and present it professionally. The technology
  should become an integral part of how the
  classroom functions -- as accessible as all other
  classroom tools.
