Technology integration is the use of technology resources - computers, digital cameras, CD-ROMs, software applications, the Internet, etc. – in the daily practices of a classroom and in the management of a school. It is the transparent use of these tools that demonstrates integration. It is when the use of technology is routine. Technology integration is when a child or a teacher doesn’t stop to think that he or she is using a computer or researching via the Internet. -- from http://www.edutopia.org/teaching-module-technology-integration-what
