HOW TO USE
TECHNOLOGY IN THE
CLASSROOM:
BENEFITS & EFFECTS
Technology provides instant accessibility to information,
which is why its presence in the classroom is so vital. Smart
phones, computers, and tablets are already an omnipresent
element of everyday life for students and teachers alike. It’s
only natural that the use of technological devices in the
classroom are explored to create meaningful learning
experiences for students of all ages.
Utilizing different types of technology in the classroom,

including a virtual classroom, creates learners who are
actively engaged with learning objectives. The
implementation of technology also creates pathways for
differentiated instruction to meet the unique needs of students
as individual learners within a broader classroom climate.
WHAT DOES
TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION MEAN
IN EDUCATION?
Integration of technology in education simply
refers to the use of technology to enhance the
student learning experience. Utilizing different
types of technology in the classroom,
including a virtual classroom, creates learners
who are actively engaged with learning
objectives. The implementation of technology
also creates pathways for differentiated
instruction to meet the unique needs of
students as individual learners within a
broader classroom climate.
HOW TO
INTEGRATE
TECHNOLOGY IN
THE CLASSROOM
There is a common misconception that the integration
of technology in the classroom can be a financial burden
for school districts, but students do not necessarily need
their own tablets or laptops to succeed with technology.
The use of technology during whole-class instruction
can foster student engagement for auditory and visual
learners. Integrating simple technologies Power Points,
games, internet homework assignments, or online
grading systems can be difference makers in students'
growth in the classroom.
Power Points and Games
Powerpoint presentations can be used to
introduce a classroom concept while
providing the opportunity for engagement.
Along with the use of graphics and
bulleted information, links to videos that
accompany the ideas presented in the
Powerpoint can be embedded within the
slides.
Internet Homework Assignments
Posting homework assignments online
(via learning platforms like Blackboard,
Brightspace, and Moodle) is one way
many teachers can begin to integrate
technology in the classroom. Assignments
are easily accessible, which can increase
student engagement and help students
become more organized.
Online grading Systems
Communication is a key element in
education that helps teachers,
administrators, parents, and students
recognize a student’s strengths and areas
for improvement. Online grading systems
such as PowerSchool open and facilitate
lines of communication where teachers can
post grades, analyze student attendance
patterns, and manage transcript data.
Classroom Tablets
For classrooms that are fortunate
enough to have tablets for students,
technology can allow teachers to
implement differentiation throughout
instruction. Students can work at
their own pace during assignments
and teachers have the opportunity for
one-on-one instruction.
Listserv
Software such as Listserv allows
parents to manage and organize
their emails. Parents can receive
updates from teachers about
important announcements,
newsletters, and discussions that
keep frequent lines of
communication open.
STRATEGIES OF
IMPLEMENTATION
FOR AGE GROUPS
The benefits of technology can
enhance any contemporary
classroom. However, the way
technology is implemented and
used in classrooms of various
grade levels and content areas
will differ.
WAYS TO
INCORPORATE
TECHNOLOGY IN
THE ELEMENTARY
CLASSROOM
For younger students, technology can be used to
build fundamental skills to prepare them for future
independent learning. Students can use interactive
games to reinforce math, spelling, phonetic, and
reading skills. Sites like Spelling Training permit
students or teachers to upload their own word lists to
practice word pronunciation and create interactive
games. Parents can also use these sites to exercise
fundamental skills beyond the walls of the classroom.
USING
TECHNOLOGY IN
THE MIDDLE
SCHOOL
CLASSROOM
As students begin to take steps to transform into
independent thinkers, they can use technology to
develop basic life skills. Students at the middle
school level will gain independence by having
different teachers for each subject. Using technology
to acquire skills such as conducting research can be
applied to any content area. Websites like Easy Bib
guide students to find credible sources through a
variety of search engines and teach students to
correctly cite those sources to avoid plagiarism.
TECHNOLOGY IN
HIGH SCHOOL
CLASSROOMS
Once students reach their secondary education, they
can discover ways to use technology that can be
beneficial for college and career development.
Familiarization with Microsoft Office and Google
Drive teach students to make spreadsheets, slide
show presentations, and share documents where they
can receive fluid feedback on their work. Many
careers use these elements of Microsoft and Google
to organize information and collaborate between
colleagues or clients.
WHY IS IT
IMPORTANT TO
INTEGRATE
TECHNOLOGY IN
THE CLASSROOM
Teachers often find success when they present the
opportunity to use technology in the classroom. There
are various benefits and effects when technology is
used for educational instruction and some may argue
that not all of the effects are positive. Having an
infinite flow of information and entertainment
available at any given time could be seen as a
distraction, but if technology is integrated into the
classroom with routines in place that are monitored or
assessed, the pros of using technology in the
classroom outweigh the cons.
Keeping students engaged
Active engagement is a key part
of any lesson plan. Whether
students are working
independently or collaboratively,
technology engages students
because it is interactive.
Helps students with different
learning styles
Not all students learn and retain
information in the same way or at the
same speed. Technology is an opportunity
for teachers to differentiate instruction to
modify information for the appropriate
learning capabilities of their students. The
use of technology can also allow students
to work at their own paces.
Prepare students with life skills
Technology has become its own form of
literacy because of how often it is used in
everyday life. Many careers use at least one
aspect of Microsoft Office or Google Drive on a
daily basis: balancing budgets on spreadsheets,
creating decks or slide shows to be presented,
or attaching documents to emails to
communicate important information. Allowing
students to learn and refine these skills prepares
them for life beyond the classroom.
