“The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions -- as accessible as all other classroom tools" (National Educational Technology Standards for Students, International Society for Technology in Education). Reigeluth and Joseph (2002) point out that technology integration focuses on “how to use technology to support the way teaching is currently done in the schools”
