Abstract

Technology has become increasingly saturated into the very fabric of students' daily lives. They are exposed to and use technology in every facet of their lives, including their schoolwork. With millions of dollars being spent by school districts on technology and its infrastructure, this study used an on-line survey to gather data on how teachers in one school district assessed their use of technology in their classrooms. Teachers also submitted detailed lesson plans as examples of best practices using technology integration. The study found that there were several barriers to the full integration of technology into teachers' classrooms, and that teachers rated themselves much higher on the on-line survey in terms of technology integration than what their lesson plans indicated they were doing.
