Technology integration is the use of technology
resources - computers, digital cameras, CD-ROMs,
software applications, the Internet, etc. in
the daily practices of a classroom and in the
management of a school. It is the transparent use
of these tools that demonstrates integration. It
is when the use of technology is routine.
Technology integration is when a child or a
teacher doesnt stop to think that he or she is
using a computer or researching via the
Internet. -- from http//www.edutopia.org/teachi
