.ie

The integration of technology in the classroom involves a planned,

highly structured and purposeful use of technology with students

with the aim of engaging students and helping them develop new

thinking skills.

Using technology, without identifying exactly what the purpose of

the programme is can be described as a random process where the

main goal is to instruct students on content not to engage them

with content.
