Brief Rational for Computer Integration:
Computer integration in the classroom is such an important aspect in today’s schools. At the rate that technology is growing and expanding into nearly every aspect of today’s society schools need to not only teach about computers but also have a level of integration in the classroom. Computer integration is important because it aids in communicating information to students as well as exposing them to technology in direct and indirect ways. Technology allows students and teachers to explore a different avenue of creativity and learning. In the classroom, technology integration is an endless road of possibilities and is open to so much potential.
