Technology Integration Activities/Strategies to Support CSIP

Increase teacher use of technology resources in instructional strategies and learning activities to facilitate best practices such as teacher presentation, whole class activities, group activities, simulations, etc.

As the leader of the classroom, the teacher should model effective technology use. Through the use of a projection unit or TV scan converters, teachers can share presentations and whole-classroom activities (such as Decisions, Decisions, or Webquests). A single computer can be used for instructional purposes as the teacher finds resources, creates presentations, and projects the lesson to the class.
