 * How do I integrate technology in the classroom?**

One goal of technology integration in the classroom is to enhance and transform lessons in such a way that the technology tools help students learn better. A great method for integrating technology is by following the SAMR model. Follow the SAMR links to learn about the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) model for integrating technology. Below the SAMR link, you will find Teacher Tech Resources for tools to help you enhance or transform a lesson.
