The Impact of an Educational Technology Facilitator on Technology and Digital Resource Integration: A Case Study of Three Thinkfinity Demonstration Schools
Abstract
The growth of technology over the last 10 years has drastically changed the educational demands of the 21st century. Educational environments in which teachers and students use technology are no longer reflective of current standards (Lawless & Pellegrino, 2007). Because of this, schools need to ensure that the integration of technology is not only occurring, but occurs successfully to benefit both teachers and students. Misconceptions, beliefs, and lack of knowledge on the integration of technology in schools have often led to the failures of technology endeavors. Educational settings need to train teachers and to supply them with the time, knowledge, encouragement, and skills necessary to effectively integrate technology into the curriculum to facilitate meaningful learning (Ertmer & Ottenbreit-Leftwich, 2010).
